About HÔPITAL CHRIST-ROI

Hôpital Christ-Roi, located at 900 Boulevard Wilfrid-Hamel in the Vanier district of Québec City, is a multi-service health and social services centre (Centre multiservices de santé et de services sociaux) operated under the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale network. The facility functions primarily as a long-term care centre (CHSLD) for non-autonomous elderly individuals requiring several hours of daily care, and also houses specialized geriatric outpatient clinics and the CLSC des Rivières. This is not an acute-care emergency facility — individuals experiencing a medical emergency should proceed immediately to a full-service hospital such as CHU de Québec – Hôpital de l'Enfant-Jésus.

Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: As this facility does not operate a walk-in emergency department, visit timing is determined by scheduled appointments or the long-term care admission process. Contact the relevant service or CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale to schedule visits or appointments in advance.

Busier times: There are no emergency walk-in services at this facility, so general ER peak-hour guidance does not apply here. For any urgent or emergent medical needs, avoid this location entirely and proceed to a full acute-care hospital in Québec City.
