The Emergency Department is split into two areas — a Fast Track clinic for minor injuries and illnesses, and the main ED for more serious conditions. Triage staff will direct you to the appropriate area on arrival.
The new hospital is located at 100 Health Care Crescent, Corner Brook — not the former 1 Brookfield Ave address, which now serves administrative functions only.
Free parking is available directly at the hospital, including accessible spaces and EV charging stations, so driving is a convenient option if you are able.
If you or a family member requires mental health support, the hospital has a dedicated mental health floor with private, dignified access via elevators connected directly to the Emergency Department.
The ED is designed to be seniors-friendly, with thoughtful layout and lighting to reduce disorientation — caregivers accompanying elderly patients can feel comfortable bringing them here.
For non-emergency concerns, consider whether your situation can wait for a family physician or walk-in clinic appointment, as this helps keep ED resources available for urgent cases.
