Access the emergency department and parking from Chemin Saint-Charles, not Boulevard Taschereau — this is a common point of confusion for first-time visitors.
Bring your valid Quebec health insurance card (RAMQ card) and your hospital card if you have one from a previous visit — this speeds up admission significantly.
If arriving outside regular admission hours (weekdays before 6 a.m. or after 11:30 p.m., or weekends/holidays before 7:30 a.m. or after 11:30 p.m.), all patients are admitted directly through the emergency department.
As a large regional teaching hospital, the ER serves the entire South Shore — expect higher volumes on weekday evenings and weekends. Check real-time wait times before leaving home.
Keep your parking ticket when you arrive; you will need it to activate the exit barrier after paying at a pay station inside the hospital.
Private or supplemental insurance information (if requesting a private or semi-private room)
Provincial drug insurance information (RAMQ or private)
Phone charger or portable battery — waits can be long
Snacks, water, and warm layers for comfort during a potentially lengthy wait
