Coronation Hospital and Care Centre is a 24/7 rural community hospital serving Coronation and the surrounding east-central Alberta region, located at 5000 Municipal Road. The emergency department provides assessment, treatment, and stabilization for all urgency levels, with patients triaged using the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to ensure the most critical cases are seen first. As a small rural facility within the Alberta Health Services network, it is best suited for general emergencies and urgent care, with complex trauma or specialized cases stabilized and transferred to larger regional centres such as Red Deer or Calgary.
Surface parking is available on-site at 5000 Municipal Road, as is typical for rural Alberta hospitals. Wheelchair-accessible entrance is available at the emergency department. Contact the facility at 403-578-3803 to confirm specific parking details.
Coronation is a small rural town in east-central Alberta with no public transit service. The facility is primarily accessible by personal vehicle. If you require transportation assistance, contact the Town of Coronation for information on any available community transport options.
No historical wait time data is currently available for this facility. As a general guideline for rural Alberta ERs, early morning hours on weekdays (before 9:00 AM) tend to be quieter. If your condition is not life-threatening, consider calling 403-578-3803 first or using Health Link 811 to determine the most appropriate care pathway.
No historical wait time data is available to identify peak periods. Generally, rural ERs may see increased activity on evenings and weekends when community clinics are closed and patients with non-urgent concerns use the ED as their primary access point. If possible, seek care during regular weekday hours for non-emergency concerns.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on Alberta health data using historical volumes, current patient counts, and staffing. Actual wait times may vary.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
