Non-emergency options
Quieter times: No historical wait time data is available for this hospital. As a small community hospital in a remote area, the ER may be less congested than urban facilities. Mid-morning on weekdays is generally a quieter time at small community ERs. For non-urgent needs, the afternoon walk-in clinic may be a faster alternative.
Busier times: No historical wait data is available. Like most emergency departments, evenings, weekends, and holidays can be busier. If your situation is not life-threatening, calling ahead at 807-868-2442 to ask about current wait levels is a good practice.
