TDMH's ED is on the main floor — follow signage from the Rolph St entrance for the fastest access to triage.
OHIP covers most emergency services, but bring your health card. Note that ambulance transport carries a $45 co-pay not covered by OHIP.
Medical equipment such as crutches, casts, and knee immobilizers dispensed at the ED is not covered by OHIP — consider bringing payment for these items.
