Tips Before You Go

• Bring your valid Ontario OHIP health card — most emergency services are covered, and presenting it at triage will speed up registration.
• Patients are seen by clinical priority, not arrival order. Less urgent conditions may involve longer waits, especially during evenings and weekends.
• The ATM is located near the Emergency Department entrance — a convenient option if you need cash for parking or other needs.
• If you or a loved one has mental health or addiction concerns, ask staff about the Integrated Addiction Medicine Clinic, which provides rapid access to care from the Emergency Department.
• Milton is one of Canada's fastest-growing communities, so the ER can be busy. Check real-time wait times on this page before heading in for non-life-threatening conditions.

What to Bring

• Valid Ontario OHIP health card
• Government-issued photo ID
• List of current medications, dosages, and allergies
• Any relevant medical records or test results
• Insurance or supplemental health coverage information (for non-OHIP services)
• Phone charger or portable battery pack for long waits
• Snacks and water for accompanying family members
• Comfort items such as a sweater or book, as wait times can vary
