Quieter times: No historical wait time data is currently available for this facility. As a general guideline, mid-morning on weekdays (Tuesday through Thursday) tends to be quieter at rural community ERs. If your condition is not life-threatening, calling ahead at 204-642-5116 may help you understand current conditions.
Busier times: Emergency volumes at Johnson Memorial Hospital are known to increase significantly during Gimli's summer tourist season, particularly on weekends in July and August when the population of the area surges. Evenings and weekends year-round also tend to be busier. For non-urgent issues, consider visiting the on-site Medical Clinic during regular hours instead of the ER.
