Emergency Rooms in Newmarket

Newmarket has 1 emergency department — 1 open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Wait time data for Newmarket is sourced from individual hospital websites and updates as frequently as every 15–30 minutes. ERstat displays the estimated time from triage registration to being seen by a physician.

All emergency departments in Newmarket use the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to prioritize patients. Patients with more serious conditions are always seen first, regardless of arrival time or displayed wait. A shorter posted wait does not guarantee a shorter visit — it depends on the severity of your condition relative to other patients in the department.
