Raymond Health Centre's ED serves a small rural community — for life-threatening emergencies such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or major trauma, call 911 immediately so paramedics can determine if direct transport to Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge is warranted.
The ED uses the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) — the sickest patients are always seen first, so non-urgent visits may experience longer waits, especially if the department is managing serious cases.
Real-time ED wait times for Raymond Health Centre are not posted online. If your situation is non-urgent, call 403-752-5411 ahead of your visit for guidance, or consider Alberta Health Services' 811 Health Link line for advice.
