Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: No historical wait time data is currently available for this location. Generally, early weekday mornings (between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.) tend to be quieter at most urban emergency departments. As a major trauma centre, St. Michael's operates at a high volume throughout the day — if your condition is not life-threatening, consider whether a walk-in clinic or virtual care option may be appropriate.

Busier times: No historical data is available to identify peak periods at this specific location. As a downtown Toronto hospital near entertainment and transit hubs, Friday and Saturday evenings and overnight hours may see higher volumes. Weekday lunch hours and late afternoons are typically busy at most urban ERs. Always call 911 for life-threatening emergencies regardless of wait times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Emergency Department entrance at St. Michael's Hospital?
The Emergency Department entrance is located at the corner of Victoria Street and Shuter Street — one block northeast of Queen and Yonge. Do not attempt to enter through the Bond St. or Queen St. main hospital entrances, as they do not provide direct access to the ED.
Is St. Michael's Hospital a trauma centre?
Yes. St. Michael's Hospital is a verified Level 1 trauma centre, accredited by both the American College of Surgeons and the Trauma Association of Canada. It is one of only two hospitals in Canada to hold this dual verification and receives trauma patients from across Ontario by both ground and air transport.
Does St. Michael's Hospital have a helipad for air ambulances?
Yes. St. Michael's Hospital is one of a small number of GTA hospitals equipped with helicopter landing facilities and one of only two in downtown Toronto. This allows critically ill or injured patients to be flown in directly from across the province.
What is the Emergency Department like at St. Michael's after the recent expansion?
The Peter Gilgan Patient Care Tower, completed in 2020, includes a newly expanded Emergency Department that is nearly double the size of the previous one, improving capacity and patient flow at this high-volume facility.
Can I get mental health support in the Emergency Department at St. Michael's?
Yes. St. Michael's Hospital provides specialized mental health and addictions services, including counselling and therapy. The ED can connect patients experiencing mental health crises with appropriate care and supports.
Is there parking available at St. Michael's Hospital emergency entrance?
No — the area immediately around the emergency entrance is reserved exclusively for ambulances. Visitors should use nearby Green P lots on Bond St. or near the Queen St. entrance, the Eaton Centre parkade on Yonge St., or private lots in the vicinity. Public transit via Queen subway station is strongly recommended.
