Sackville Memorial Hospital is a community acute care facility located at 8 Main St in Sackville, New Brunswick, operated by Horizon Health Network and serving Sackville, Dorchester, Port Elgin, and surrounding Westmorland County communities. The emergency department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making it the primary point of emergency care for residents, students at nearby Mount Allison University, and visitors to the region. As a community-level hospital, it is well-suited for most urgent and emergent presentations, though patients requiring advanced trauma, cardiac, stroke, or pediatric specialty care may be stabilized on-site and transferred to a larger regional centre such as The Moncton Hospital.
Free on-site parking is available at Sackville Memorial Hospital. The parking lot was expanded in 2023 to add 88 spaces and runs along the Main Street side of the property. Designated accessible parking spaces are included, and the facility is fully wheelchair accessible.
Sackville is a small town with no confirmed dedicated public transit route to the hospital. The hospital is centrally located on Main St and is walkable from downtown Sackville and the Mount Allison University campus. Patients travelling from outside town are advised to arrange private transportation. If transportation to care is a concern, call Tele-Care 811 (available 24/7) for guidance.
No historical wait time data is currently available for this facility. As a general guideline for community hospitals, mid-morning on weekdays (after the overnight rush and before the midday peak) tends to see shorter waits. If your concern is not life-threatening, calling Tele-Care 811 first can help you determine whether an ER visit is the most appropriate option.
No historical data is available to identify specific peak periods at Sackville Memorial Hospital. Generally, evenings, weekends, and the late afternoon tend to be busier periods at most community ERs. During the academic year, the arrival of Mount Allison University students in September may increase local demand for health services.
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.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
