Huntsville District Memorial Hospital, located at 100 Frank Miller Drive in Huntsville, Ontario, operates a 24/7 Emergency Department serving a catchment area of over 4,000 square kilometres across Muskoka, East Parry Sound, and the surrounding cottage country. As a 56-bed facility and the region's designated District Stroke Centre, it is the only hospital in Muskoka authorized to administer the clot-busting drug tNK, making it the primary destination for stroke patients transported by ambulance. It serves over 60,000 permanent residents and sees significantly higher patient volumes during summer months when seasonal visitors and tourists more than double the local population.
Parking is available on site at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital. Day, weekly, and monthly parking passes with in-and-out privileges can be purchased at the pay-on-foot station in the hospital lobby. Passes are non-refundable. For current parking rates, contact the hospital directly at 705-789-2311.
Huntsville is a smaller northern Ontario community and no dedicated public transit routes to the hospital have been identified. Patients without personal vehicles should contact the hospital or the Town of Huntsville to ask about available community transportation options.
Emergency departments are generally quietest in the early morning hours between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM on weekdays. If your condition is urgent but not life-threatening, arriving earlier in the day on a weekday tends to result in shorter wait times at most community hospitals.
Summer weekends and long weekends (Victoria Day through Labour Day) are the busiest periods at this ER, as the Muskoka cottage-country population more than doubles and visitor volumes spike significantly. Evenings and weekends year-round also tend to be busier than weekday mornings.
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.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
