Indian Head Union Hospital is a small community hospital located at 300 Hospital Street in Indian Head, Saskatchewan, approximately 69 km east of Regina, serving the town and surrounding rural municipalities. The emergency department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using a triage-based system to prioritize patients by medical urgency, from life-threatening emergencies to less urgent concerns. As a community-level facility operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority, it is best suited for general and urgent care needs, while patients requiring complex cardiac, stroke, or major trauma interventions can expect stabilization and transfer to a larger regional centre such as Regina General Hospital.
