Wait time data for Edmundston is sourced from NB Health and updates as frequently as every 5 minutes. ERstat displays the estimated time from triage registration to being seen by a physician. Note: New Brunswick publishes total visit length rather than time-to-physician, so displayed times are not directly comparable to other provinces.

All emergency departments in Edmundston use the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to prioritize patients. Patients with more serious conditions are always seen first, regardless of arrival time or displayed wait. A shorter posted wait does not guarantee a shorter visit — it depends on the severity of your condition relative to other patients in the department.
