Smooth Rock Falls Hospital, located at 107 Kelly Rd in Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario, operates a 24/7 emergency department serving the broader Cochrane District with emergency, acute, and primary care services. The hospital is fully bilingual (English and French) and is recognized as a regional centre for medical access, offering notably shorter ER wait times — often measured in minutes — thanks in part to coordination with the attached Falls Medical Clinic. With 14 acute care beds and a medical staff of physicians on site, this community hospital is the appropriate destination for urgent and life-threatening conditions for residents of Smooth Rock Falls and surrounding northern Ontario communities.
On-site parking is available at 107 Kelly Rd. No fee information is publicly listed; contact the hospital at 705-338-2781 for current details.

No historical wait time data is available for this facility. Generally, community hospital ERs in smaller northern Ontario towns tend to be less busy during mid-morning on weekdays. Smooth Rock Falls Hospital is noted for shorter-than-average ER wait times overall.
No historical data is available to identify specific peak periods. Like most ERs, evenings, weekends, and holidays may see higher volumes. For non-urgent concerns, contacting the Falls Medical Clinic during regular hours may be more appropriate than visiting the ER.
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.
