Emergency Rooms in Devon

Devon has 1 emergency department: 1 open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 1 of 1 currently has live wait time data.

Wait time data for Devon is sourced from Alberta Health Services (AHS) and updates as frequently as every 2–5 minutes. ERstat displays the estimated time from triage registration to being seen by a physician.

All emergency departments in Devon use the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to prioritize patients. Patients with more serious conditions are always seen first, regardless of arrival time or displayed wait. A shorter posted wait does not guarantee a shorter visit. It depends on the severity of your condition relative to other patients in the department.
