Tips Before You Go

• Maidstone Health Complex uses a triage system — patients with the most urgent needs are seen first, not in order of arrival. Be prepared to wait if your condition is non-urgent.
• If you arrive with an emergency, staff will assess whether your care needs can be met on site or whether transfer to a larger centre is required — cooperate fully with this assessment for the best outcome.
• Overnight visits (8 PM–8 AM) are handled by a paramedic-nurse team consulting remotely with a STARS physician — this is normal for this facility's CEC model, not a sign of reduced care.
• For non-emergency health needs during business hours, the on-site medical clinic may be a more appropriate option than the emergency department.
• Because Maidstone is a rural community with no public transit, arrange your transportation in advance, especially for overnight visits or if you may require transfer to another facility.

What to Bring

• Saskatchewan Health Card (provincial health card)
• Government-issued photo ID
• List of current medications including dosages
• List of known allergies
• Any relevant medical records or recent test results
• Personal support person or emergency contact information
• Comfortable clothing if a longer stay is possible
• Cash or payment method for any incidentals
