Curb-to-curb accessible transit service is available on Mondays and Thursdays during morning and afternoon windows — booking must be made 24 hours in advance.

No historical wait-time data is available for this location. As with most emergency departments, evenings, weekends, and holidays typically see higher volumes. If your situation is not life-threatening, weekday mornings are generally a better time to visit a community ER.
