Quieter times: No historical wait time data is available for this facility. Generally, early weekday mornings tend to be quieter at small rural emergency departments. For non-life-threatening concerns, weekday mornings are your best bet for faster service.
Busier times: Evenings, weekends, and holidays typically see higher volumes at rural ERs. Avoid these times for non-urgent issues if possible. Monday mornings after a long weekend can also be busier than average.
