Free parking is available on site; if you are dropped off at the emergency entrance, have your driver move the vehicle to the general lot promptly to keep emergency access clear.
Services are available in both English and French, so francophone patients can request care in their preferred language.
If your condition is life-threatening, call 911 rather than driving yourself — paramedics can begin treatment en route and coordinate with the ER before you arrive.
Bring a list of your current medications and any relevant medical history, as Sussex Health Centre may need to coordinate with specialists at larger Horizon Health Network hospitals for complex cases.
The hospital is affiliated with Horizon Health Network, so your records and referrals can be shared across Horizon facilities including Saint John Regional Hospital if follow-up care is needed.
