If your condition is not an emergency, calling HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 can help you decide the best time and place to seek care.
Busier times: Like most community ERs, Shuswap Lake General Hospital's emergency department is typically busiest on evenings, weekends, and holidays when walk-in clinics and family doctor offices are closed. Mondays often see higher volumes as weekend concerns accumulate.
