Easing by 12:00 a.m. · Hospital posts 7h 17m for a whole visitDetails

3h 2m is ERstat’s estimate of the time from arriving to seeing a doctor, for when you would get there. The hospital’s 7h 17m is the whole visit, from arriving to leaving, so the two measure different things.

In the ER now: 17 waiting.

About usual compares the hospital’s posted wait right now (7h 17m) with its own average for a Wednesday night over the last 8 weeks (6h 35m).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hôpital Le Royer the only emergency department in the Baie-Comeau area?
Yes. Hôpital Le Royer at 635 Boulevard Jolliet is the primary emergency facility for Baie-Comeau and serves as the regional referral hub for much of the Côte-Nord, including communities such as Forestville and Les Escoumins. For life-threatening emergencies, call 9-1-1 immediately.
What happens if I need specialized care that is not available at Hôpital Le Royer?
Patients requiring care beyond what is available on-site are typically transferred to a hospital in Quebec City. Given Baie-Comeau's location over 400 km from Quebec City, these transfers are usually arranged by air ambulance or evacuation transport and can take time to organize.
Does Hôpital Le Royer offer services in English or Indigenous languages?
Yes. Services are available in French, English, and Innu. Many staff members speak more than one language, and interpreter services can be arranged upon request. Do not hesitate to ask for language assistance when you arrive.
Can I access CLSC services at the same location as the emergency department?
Yes. The CLSC co-located at Hôpital Le Royer offers a range of services including minor surgery, nursing consultations, wound care, prenatal classes, contraception services, and harm reduction — some of which may be appropriate alternatives to the ER for non-urgent needs.
Is there a patient navigator available if I am travelling from a remote community?
Yes. A patient navigator service is available to assist patients travelling from remote areas to Hôpital Le Royer. You can reach this service through the Fondation by calling 418-589-3701, extension 302292.

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.
