This is a small community ED with 5 stretchers — it is well-suited for urgent but non-life-threatening conditions; for major trauma, cardiac emergencies, or complex pediatric cases, be aware you may be stabilized and transferred to Hôpital de Mont-Laurier.
Services are offered primarily in French. If you require English-language care, contact the hospital in advance at 819-275-2118 to ask about available language support.
Because this is a lower-volume rural emergency department, wait times may be shorter than at larger urban hospitals, but staffing resources are also more limited — arrive early if your condition allows.
The facility offers a broad range of on-site social and mental health services, including addiction rehabilitation and psychiatric care — if you or someone with you needs these supports, ask staff about referrals during your visit.
Parking details including fees are posted at the hospital entrance; bring cash or a card in case paid parking applies to your visit.
