Tips Before You Go

• This ER serves a bilingual community — you have the right to receive care in either English or French, so don't hesitate to request service in your preferred official language.
• The emergency department has two examining rooms, so during busy periods waits may be longer — for non-life-threatening issues, arriving during off-peak hours (mid-morning on weekdays) may reduce your wait.
• An EMS station is located at the same address, so ambulance response for the surrounding area is closely integrated with this facility.
• For complex emergencies such as major trauma, stroke, or advanced cardiac events, you may be stabilized here and then transferred to a larger Winnipeg-area hospital — inform staff of any known medical history to speed this process.
• Ambulance transport is generally not covered by Manitoba Health insurance except in specific situations — ask your care team about costs before any non-emergency ERS transport.
