Should I go to the ER with the shortest wait time?
Not necessarily. All Canadian emergency departments use triage: patients with more serious conditions are seen first regardless of arrival time.

What if all Nicolet ERs have long wait times?
ERstat shows nearby emergency departments outside Nicolet with current wait times and driving distance. You can also call 811 to speak with a registered nurse who can help you decide where to go. For non-emergency conditions, a pharmacist or walk-in clinic may be able to help with no wait.
