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

Wait times are estimates based on Ontario health data. Actual wait times may vary.

We check our own accuracy. Forecasting two hours ahead, the ERstat estimate was typically off by 33 minutes against what hospitals themselves later posted, compared with 42 minutes for the hospital's own current figure, and was the closer of the two 58% of the time.
