Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: No historical wait time data is available for this location. Generally, rural ERs tend to be quieter on weekday mornings and early afternoons. If your situation is not an emergency, mid-morning on a weekday is typically a lower-volume time at small community hospitals.

Busier times: No historical data is available for Southampton Hospital. Evenings, weekends, and summer months — when the Saugeen Shores area sees a significant influx of seasonal tourists — may result in higher ER volume. Statutory holidays can also bring increased demand.

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.
