Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: No historical wait data is currently available for this location. In general, community hospital ERs tend to be less busy during mid-morning weekday hours (Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to noon). Using the telephone appointment booking line at 418-248-0630 may help you time your visit more effectively.

Busier times: Without historical wait data, general patterns suggest avoiding Monday mornings, weekend afternoons, and evenings when urgent care demand typically peaks at community hospitals. Holidays and the post-weekend period can also see higher volumes.

Tips Before You Go

• You can book a telephone appointment at any hour of the day or night — call 418-248-0630 to arrange your visit and potentially reduce your wait time.
• The ER has only 10 stretcher bays, so arriving during off-peak hours (mid-morning on weekdays) may result in shorter wait times.
• Since public transit does not serve this location, arrange your ride in advance — especially for late-night or early-morning visits.
• Bring your provincial health card (carte d'assurance maladie) and any relevant medical documents; services are available in both French and English.
• A modernization project is underway at the hospital — allow extra time for wayfinding and follow posted signage when navigating the facility.
