Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: 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.

Busier times: 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.

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.
