Tips Before You Go

If you are travelling to Chandler from a distant part of Gaspésie, consider calling the ER before departure for very long trips, especially in winter when road conditions on Highway 132 can be hazardous.
For obstetric emergencies or labour, the hospital delivers approximately 115 babies per year and has trained on-site staff — present to the ER and notify triage of your condition immediately.
Patients with complex conditions such as major trauma, cardiac surgery needs, or neurosurgical emergencies may be stabilized and then transferred to a larger centre; prepare for this possibility if your condition is severe.
The hospital participates in the Federal Interim Health Program (PFSI), so asylum seekers and refugee claimants are eligible to receive care — bring your PFSI documentation if applicable.

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.
