Street parking in Old Québec is very limited due to the historic urban environment. An underground parking facility is available nearby at 1 rue de l'Arsenal. Visitors are strongly advised to use dedicated hospital or nearby municipal parking rather than searching for street parking. For current rates and availability, consult chudequebec.ca.
The hospital is accessible via the Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC), which operates multiple bus routes through Old Québec. The Côte du Palais address is within walking distance of the Old Québec city core. For current route numbers and schedules serving this location, visit rtcquebec.ca.
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.
This hospital does not publish a live wait, so the figure above comes from our model rather than from its own feed. We publish how that model performs where it can be checked, at the hospitals that do publish. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
