Declaring a national emergency is for health care providers. It relaxes the federal rules that they must follow so they can use their own judgement on how to treat as many people as they can as quickly as they can. That's it. Here's some examples. Hospitals can open up a ward in another place, such as parking lot, school, or warehouse. They can also skip some of the information on paper work they usually need to treat a person. Such as things like, full address, insurance info, and phone number. I'm not saying these are things that will be done, but it is things they can do in case there are masses of patients that need to be treated. Would you want to wait to be treated while somebody is demanding full info on each person ahead of you?
