Arrive early in the morning if possible — ED volumes across Alberta typically rise mid-morning and peak in the early evening, so earlier visits often mean shorter waits.
The ED sees over 24,000 visits per year, so expect potential wait times during busy periods; bring something to read or listen to while you wait.
Connect to the hospital's free 'healthspot' Wi-Fi in the waiting area to stay in touch with family while you wait for care.
If you need translation support, interpreter services are available — let the triage nurse know at check-in so arrangements can be made promptly.
