Dr. A.A. Wilkinson Memorial Health Centre is a small community hospital located at 438 Station Drive in Old Perlican, Newfoundland, providing 24/7 emergency and urgent care to residents of the surrounding Trinity Bay North area. The facility operates as a community-level health centre with four inpatient beds, offering essential services including laboratory, diagnostic imaging, and X-ray alongside its emergency department. Patients requiring advanced specialty care such as trauma, cardiac, or surgical intervention should expect referral or transfer to a larger regional hospital.
Free parking is available at the back of the building. Accessible parking spaces are provided, along with a ramp, accessible entrances, and accessible interior spaces.
No public transit routes serve Old Perlican. The health centre is accessible via Highways 70 and 80, and personal vehicle or arranged transport is the primary means of access for this rural community.
No historical wait time data is available for this facility. As a small rural community ED, weekday mornings and early afternoons are generally less busy than evenings and weekends at most emergency departments — visiting during those times when your situation is non-urgent may result in a shorter wait.
Without historical wait data, specific peak periods cannot be confirmed. As with most emergency departments, evenings, weekends, and holidays tend to see higher patient volumes. If your situation is not life-threatening, consider calling ahead at (709) 587-2200 to gauge current conditions.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on Newfoundland & Labrador 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.
