To see a doctor if you leave now
4h 3m is ERstat’s estimate of the time from arriving to seeing a doctor, for when you would get there. The hospital’s 11h 50m is the whole visit, from arriving to leaving, so the two measure different things.
In the ER now: 31 waiting.
Busier than usual compares the hospital’s posted wait right now (11h 50m) with its own average for a Thursday evening over the last 8 weeks (9h 23m).

Paid parking is available on-site via automated pay stations (horodateurs) located inside the facility. The first two hours are free. Pay stations accept coins only (25¢, $1, and $2) — paper money is not accepted. Upon arrival, enter your licence plate number and desired parking duration. Note that the parking area is approximately 120 metres from the main entrance, which can be challenging in winter for patients with mobility limitations. Accessible parking spaces are available but are also located at a distance from the main entrance.
Multiple STS (Société de Transport de Sherbrooke) bus routes serve the hospital's main entrance, including lines 1, 4, 8, 55, 57, 449, 904, and 908. The nearest stop — Murray (CHUS – Hôtel-Dieu) — is approximately a 1-minute walk from the hospital. Additional nearby stops include Bowen Sud / Johnson, Bowen Sud / Galt Est, and Murray / Woodward.
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.
