Non-emergency options
Quieter times: No historical wait time data is available for this location. Generally, rural emergency departments tend to be quieter during mid-morning on weekdays (Tuesday through Thursday). If your condition is not life-threatening, these times may mean shorter waits.
Busier times: As with most emergency departments, Monday mornings and evenings (after 5 p.m. on weekdays) can see increased volume as people seek care after work or following weekend activities. Friday evenings may also be busier. For true emergencies, do not delay — go immediately regardless of time.
