Tips Before You Go

• Pasqua Hospital is Regina's primary trauma centre, so the ER regularly handles high-acuity cases — expect a potentially busy waiting room, especially on evenings and weekends.
• Patients are seen based on medical urgency, not order of arrival. If your condition is serious or worsening, clearly communicate all symptoms to the triage nurse when you arrive.
• Pay for parking at the pay station inside the ER entrance as soon as you arrive — no need to go back to your vehicle, and you can extend time through the ParkMobile app if your visit runs long.
• The Allan Blair Cancer Centre is located within Pasqua Hospital, so patients with cancer-related emergencies will have access to specialized expertise on site.
• If you are coming by Regina Transit, routes 1, 10, and 12 stop very close to the hospital on Dewdney Avenue — plan your trip in advance, especially for late-night visits.

What to Bring

• Government-issued photo ID (driver's licence or passport)
• Saskatchewan Health Card (provincial health coverage card)
• List of current medications, dosages, and allergies
• Any relevant medical records, recent test results, or referral letters
• Provincial disability placard if applicable (note parking fees still apply)
• Payment method for parking ($1/30 min; coin, debit, or credit accepted)
• Phone charger or portable battery — waits can be lengthy
• Snacks and a water bottle for support persons accompanying you
