Hôpital Général de Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) is a bilingual, 100-bed community hospital serving the residents of Prescott-Russell and Eastern Ontario from its main campus at 1111 Ghislain Street in Hawkesbury. The Emergency Department treats close to 60,000 patients annually across both an acute care section and an ambulatory care service (EDAS), handling everything from serious injuries and illness to less urgent medical concerns. Accredited with Exemplary Standing by Accreditation Canada, HGH is the primary full-service emergency resource for the Hawkesbury area and surrounding communities.
On-site parking is available at HGH. The fee is $6.00 for 24 hours, with no charge for the first 30 minutes. Payment is made at pay stations located inside near the main entrance. Weekly parking passes are available for $20.00. Wheelchair-accessible parking spaces are available on site.
No specific public transit routes serving HGH have been confirmed. Hawkesbury is a smaller community, so patients are advised to check with local transit providers or contact the hospital directly. The hospital is accessible by car with on-site parking available at 1111 Ghislain Street.
No historical wait time data is currently available for this location. Generally, weekday mornings (8:00 a.m. to noon) and early afternoons tend to be less busy at community hospital ERs. If your concern is non-urgent, consider the EDAS ambulatory service, open daily 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
No historical data is available to identify specific peak times. As with most ERs, evenings, weekends, and holidays typically see higher volumes. If your situation permits, avoiding these times may result in a shorter 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.
