HÔPITAL CATHERINE-BOOTH

Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: As an inpatient rehabilitation facility accepting patients by referral only, there are no walk-in or drop-in visits. Admission timing is coordinated through your referring care team. For outpatient appointments, contacting the hospital directly to schedule during mid-morning on weekdays is generally advisable to reach administrative staff.

Busier times: This hospital does not have an emergency department, so there are no peak ER wait times to avoid. For scheduling rehabilitation-related inquiries, avoid calling during lunch hours (12:00–1:30 p.m.) or late Friday afternoons when administrative availability may be reduced.
