Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital operates a 24/7 emergency department serving residents of Arnprior, McNab-Braeside, Mississippi Mills, and West Ottawa. As part of Arnprior Regional Health, a 141-bed progressive organization, the ER is staffed by physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals equipped to assess and treat serious injuries and life-threatening illnesses. With on-site diagnostic imaging including a CT scanner, the department provides a meaningful level of acute care for patients across this rural and semi-rural region of eastern Ontario.
Free 24/7 parking is available at both the front and back of the hospital. The Emergency Department is located at the rear of the building — use the second entrance on 350 John St N, follow the ramp beside the ambulance bay, turn left through the gate, and you will reach the ER parking lot. Designated accessible/handicapped spaces are clearly marked. The parking system uses cashless payment (debit or credit) at entry/exit gates or at pay-on-foot stations inside the hospital. A graduated rate structure means visits under 90 minutes cost less than the full daily maximum, and ARH remains one of the most affordable hospital parking options in the region.
No specific public transit routes or bus stops serving 350 John St N were identified in available sources. Arnprior is a smaller community; patients are advised to check with local transit options or arrange personal transportation. The hospital is located at the corner of John St N and Elgin St.

No historical wait time data is currently available for this location. As a general pattern, emergency departments across Canada tend to see higher volumes on weekday evenings, weekends, and during cold and flu season. Mondays are often busier as patients who delayed care over the weekend arrive. Arriving earlier in the day when possible may reduce your wait.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on Ontario health data using historical volumes, current patient counts, and staffing. Actual wait times may vary.
