Emergency Rooms in Fredericton

Fredericton has 1 emergency department — 1 open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 1 of 1 currently has live wait time data.

Wait time data for Fredericton 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 Fredericton 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.
