The emergency department has only 5 functional stretcher beds — it is a small ED serving a large rural territory, so wait times for non-urgent conditions can be significant. Arrive prepared for a potential wait.
Note that blood draw (prélèvement) and specimen collection services have moved off-site to 790 rue de la Madone, Mont-Laurier. Do not go to the hospital for routine lab draws.
Services at this hospital are offered primarily in French. If you require English-language care, contact the hospital in advance at 819-623-1234 to confirm availability.
If you are a refugee claimant, some physicians at this hospital participate in the Federal Interim Health Program (PFSI/IFHP) — bring your IFHP documentation to your visit.
For non-emergency needs, consider using the on-site test centre (appointment required) or the outpatient specialty clinics rather than the emergency department to reduce unnecessary ER congestion.
