Patients with complex needs such as cardiac events or major trauma may be stabilized and transferred to the larger Chatham campus or a regional centre.

Rates are $3.50 for the first hour, $2.50 for the second hour, and $1.50 for each additional hour, to a daily maximum of $7.50 for 12 hours.

No historical wait time data is currently available for this location. Generally, community hospital emergency departments tend to be less busy in the early morning hours (between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.) on weekdays. Checking real-time wait times before leaving home is always recommended.
Without historical data, specific peak times cannot be confirmed. As with most emergency departments, evenings, weekends, and holidays typically see higher patient volumes. If your condition is not life-threatening, consider avoiding these periods when possible.
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.
