Tips Before You Go

If you require highly specialized care such as advanced cardiac intervention or complex trauma, be aware you may be transferred to Hôpital de Chicoutimi — ask staff about this possibility upon arrival.
Bring a list of your current medications and any relevant medical history, as this smaller regional ER may have limited access to outside medical records.
