Tips Before You Go

This is a small, 2-stretcher emergency unit in a remote region — for life-threatening emergencies such as stroke or major cardiac events, call 911 immediately so staff can initiate air transport protocols if needed.
For non-emergency medical concerns at any hour, dial 8-1-1 to reach a qualified nurse or psychosocial worker through the provincial Info-Santé / Info-Social service — this can help you decide whether an ER visit is necessary.
Patients who may need specialist referrals outside the region should ask the care team about the CISSS de la Côte-Nord's air transport coordination service (1-833-994-2242) early in their visit.
The GMF de la Minganie at this facility offers multidisciplinary primary care — registering with the GMF for non-urgent health needs can help reduce unnecessary emergency visits.

About ER Wait Times

Emergency departments use triage. Patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.

Wait times are ERstat’s estimates, built from what hospitals publish, or from our model where a hospital publishes no wait. They are not the hospital’s own figures. Actual waits may vary.

We check our accuracy every night against what hospitals later post. Forecasting two hours ahead, our estimate is typically off by 32 minutes. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
