Grand Manan Hospital, located at 196 Route 776 on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, provides 24-hour emergency care to the island's permanent population of approximately 2,500 residents, which swells to around 5,000 during summer. As an 8-bed community hospital operated by Horizon Health Network, it offers essential emergency and primary care services, with patients requiring critical care, childbirth, or complex investigations transferred by ground or air ambulance to Saint John Regional Hospital on the mainland. This facility is best suited for lower-acuity emergencies and urgent care needs for those already on the island.
Free on-site parking is available at Grand Manan Hospital. The facility is fully wheelchair accessible.
Grand Manan Island is accessible only by ferry from Blacks Harbour, NB. There is no formal municipal public transit on the island. Patients and visitors travelling from the mainland must plan their trip around ferry schedules before arriving at the hospital.
No historical wait time data is available for this facility. Generally, rural emergency departments tend to be less busy in the early morning hours (6 a.m. to 10 a.m.) on weekdays. If your condition is not immediately life-threatening, mid-morning on a weekday is typically a quieter time to visit.
No historical wait time data is available for this facility. Emergency departments across Canada are typically busiest in the evenings (5 p.m. to 10 p.m.) and on weekends. Summer months on Grand Manan may bring higher patient volumes due to the seasonal population increase and tourist activity on the island.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on New Brunswick health data using historical volumes, current patient counts, and staffing. Actual wait times may vary.
