Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: No historical wait time data is currently available for this location. Generally, rural emergency departments tend to be less congested during mid-morning on weekdays. For non-urgent concerns, consider calling (519) 323-2210 before visiting.

Busier times: Without historical wait data, specific busy periods cannot be confirmed. As with most emergency departments, evenings, weekends, and holidays may see higher patient volumes. If your condition is not life-threatening, visiting during daytime weekday hours may result in shorter waits.

About ER Wait Times

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. Actual wait times may vary.

This hospital does not publish a live wait, so the figure above comes from our model rather than from its own feed. We publish how that model performs where it can be checked, at the hospitals that do publish. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
