Non-emergency options
Quieter times: No historical wait time data is currently available for this location. Generally, rural emergency departments tend to be less congested on weekday mornings and early afternoons. For non-life-threatening concerns, arriving earlier in the day on a weekday may result in shorter waits.
Busier times: No historical wait time data is available for this location. Like most emergency departments, WDMH is likely busiest on weekday evenings, weekends, and holidays when family doctors' offices are closed and more patients seek urgent care. If your condition allows, try to avoid these peak periods.

Winchester is a small rural community with limited public transit options. Patients are advised to arrange personal transportation or contact the hospital directly at 613-774-2420 to inquire about any available patient transport services.
Emergency departments use triage. Patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.

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.
