Best Times to Visit

Tips Before You Go

• Concordia's Urgent Care is designed for non-life-threatening conditions — if you are experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, or any life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go directly to a full-service emergency department.
• Patients are seen based on medical urgency, not order of arrival, so be prepared for variable wait times depending on the severity of cases ahead of you.
• If you need a prescription filled after your visit, the Concordia Community Pharmacy is conveniently located on the ground floor across from the Community Clinic.
• Use the dedicated Urgent Care drop-off loop to safely drop off patients at the entrance, then move your vehicle promptly to the paid parking lot to keep the driveway clear.
• If you have a minor concern and can wait until evening, the Extended Hours Primary Care Clinic (Room 127A) is open weekday evenings and all day on weekends and holidays, and may have shorter waits than the Urgent Care Centre.

What to Bring

• Valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., Manitoba driver's licence or health card)
• Manitoba Health Card (PHIN card)
• List of current medications, dosages, and allergies
• Provincial health coverage information or private insurance details
• Previous relevant medical records or imaging results if applicable
• Comfortable clothing appropriate for examination
• Snacks and water for potentially lengthy wait times
• A book, phone charger, or other entertainment while waiting

About ER Wait Times

Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.

Wait times are estimates based on Manitoba health data using historical volumes, current patient counts, and staffing. Actual wait times may vary.
