Renfrew Victoria Hospital's Emergency Department in Renfrew, Ontario operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, serving a large rural catchment area that spans from Whitewater Township in the north to McNab/Braeside in the south and east to the Quebec border. The fully accredited 55-bed hospital offers a comprehensive ER staffed by physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals who triage and treat life-threatening injuries and serious illnesses, supported by on-site imaging, a Special Care Unit, and regional programs including an Assault Response Team and Addictions Treatment Service. Patients throughout Renfrew County rely on this hospital as the primary acute care facility for emergency, surgical, obstetrical, and complex medical needs.
Renfrew Victoria Hospital operates a gated on-site parking system at a rate of $1.00 per hour, with a maximum daily cap of $5.00. Three parking gates are located on site. The facility is fully accessible for patients with mobility needs.
Renfrew is a small rural community and no municipal transit routes serving the hospital have been identified. The hospital is located at the corner of Raglan St N and Bruce St. Patients travelling from outside Renfrew are advised to arrange personal transportation or contact the hospital at (613) 432-4851 to inquire about local transportation resources through Renfrew County.
No specific historical wait time data is available for Renfrew Victoria Hospital. Generally, mid-morning on weekdays (after the early morning rush but before afternoon peaks) tends to be a quieter period at rural community ERs. For non-life-threatening issues, patient reviewers note that waits at RVH are typically short compared to larger urban centres.
Like most emergency departments, RVH is likely busiest on weekday evenings (after work hours), weekends, and during major holidays when family doctors' offices are closed. Flu season (November through March) can also increase ER volumes. If your situation is not an emergency, consider calling your family physician or a telehealth service first.
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.
