Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: No historical wait time data is available for this facility. Generally, rural emergency departments tend to be quieter on weekday mornings. Arriving early in the day is advisable given the ER's daytime-only hours (7:00 AM – 5:00 PM).

Busier times: No historical wait data is available. As with most emergency departments, late afternoons and times coinciding with shift changes may see higher patient volumes. Arriving well before the 5:00 PM closing time is strongly recommended.

About ER Wait Times

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. Actual wait times may vary.

This hospital does not publish a live wait, so the figure above comes from our model rather than from its own feed. We publish how that model performs where it can be checked, at the hospitals that do publish. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
