Tips Before You Go

• This is a community proximity hospital — it is well equipped for urgent and moderately serious conditions, but patients with major trauma, cardiac emergencies, or complex pediatric needs may be transferred to a Québec City hospital.
• Call ahead at 418 827-3726 if you are unsure whether your condition can be treated at this facility or to get directions and parking guidance.
• Most visitors travel to the hospital by personal vehicle; plan your route via Route 138 (boulevard Sainte-Anne) along the Côte-de-Beaupré corridor.
• If you are visiting the Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré or Mont Sainte-Anne as a tourist and require emergency care, this hospital is your closest option.
• Administrative and non-emergency services are best contacted during weekday business hours (8:00–12:00 and 13:00–16:00), but the emergency department is always open.

What to Bring

• Government-issued photo ID (driver's licence or passport)
• Valid provincial health insurance card (RAMQ card)
• List of current medications, dosages, and allergies
• Any relevant medical records, recent test results, or specialist letters
• Provincial or private insurance information if applicable
• Comfortable clothing suitable for a potentially long wait
• Phone charger or portable battery
• Snacks and water for accompanying family members

Parking

Specific parking cost and lot details are not publicly documented. Contact the hospital directly at 418 827-3726 for parking information. The facility is located at 11000 rue des Montagnards and most visitors arrive by personal vehicle, so on-site parking is expected to be available.

Getting There

Public transit does not directly serve the hospital in Beaupré. The Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) does not extend to this area. Most patients arrive by personal vehicle. Contact the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale or the municipality of Beaupré for any regional or paratransit options.

We check our own accuracy.
