Tips Before You Go

• Hôpital de LaSalle operates primarily in French — all signage, charting, and administrative processes are in French, but staff can also assist in English.
• The testing centre requires an appointment and operates Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 11:00 AM only — do not arrive expecting walk-in lab services outside these hours.

• Bus line 112 and the Dollard/Champlain stop are your best transit options if arriving without a car — plan for a short 4-minute walk from the stop to the entrance.

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.
