Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: No historical wait time data is currently available for this ER. As a general guide for small community hospitals, mid-morning on weekdays (Tuesday through Thursday) tends to be quieter. If your situation is not life-threatening, arriving earlier in the day on a weekday may result in shorter waits.

Busier times: No historical data is available for specific peak periods at this location. Like most ERs, evenings, weekends, and holidays typically see higher patient volumes. Monday mornings can also be busy as patients who waited through the weekend seek care.
