Tips Before You Go

Arrive early or use alternative transportation — on-site parking is limited and can fill up quickly.
If you have a family doctor in Camrose or the surrounding area, the ER can provide referrals back to them or to a specialist after your visit.
For stroke symptoms (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty), go to the ER immediately — St. Mary's is a designated Primary Stroke Centre.
Visiting hours are 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily; family members accompanying a patient to the ER should be aware of general hospital visiting policies.
Patients with highly complex or specialized needs may be stabilized here and transferred to a larger Edmonton-area hospital — knowing your options in advance can reduce anxiety in a crisis.
