Kipling Memorial Health Centre serves the emergency care needs of Kipling and the surrounding communities of southeast Saskatchewan, operating a 24/7 emergency department with triage-based care. The facility functions as a rural integrated health centre offering emergency services, inpatient acute care, laboratory services, and mental health and addiction support. Patients with high-acuity conditions such as cardiac emergencies, major trauma, or stroke should expect stabilization and transfer to a larger regional centre such as Weyburn or Regina.

This is a small rural ER — for life-threatening emergencies such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or major trauma, call 911 immediately so paramedics can begin care en route.
Patients with complex or specialized needs (cardiac, stroke, major trauma) will be stabilized here and transferred to a larger centre like Weyburn General Hospital or a Regina facility — plan for this possibility.
The emergency department does not accept appointments; you are seen based on urgency of need, not order of arrival, so wait times can vary.
A community pharmacy is located in the Town of Kipling if you need to fill a prescription after your visit — it is not located within the health centre itself.
If you require accessible transportation to your appointment, book the Town of Kipling Handy Van in advance by calling (306) 736-2515 — it runs Wednesdays and Fridays only.
