Tips Before You Go

• This is a large, busy urban ER serving over 670,000 Montréalers — triage prioritizes the most urgent cases, so patients with minor concerns should expect longer waits during peak hours.
• Services are offered primarily in French; if you require English-language care, let the triage nurse know so staff can accommodate you as best as possible.
• Use the Passport Canada app to pay for and manage your parking remotely — this saves you trips back to the meter while you wait inside.
• The Users' Committee (Suite C58, 514-252-3925) can help you understand your rights as a patient or assist with any concerns during your visit — don't hesitate to contact them.
• If arriving by metro, take the Green Line to Assomption station and plan for approximately a 10–15 minute walk, or connect to a bus on routes 18, 32, or 131 to reach the hospital entrance more quickly.
