Triage is the first step upon arrival — a nurse will assess you immediately to determine urgency. Those with life-threatening conditions are always seen first, so be prepared to wait if your condition is less urgent.
You cannot make an appointment in the emergency department. Unlike a walk-in clinic, patients are not seen in order of arrival but by medical urgency, so plan your visit accordingly.
Use the ParkMobile app or pay stations inside the ER entrance and at the 14th and 15th Avenue entrances to pay for parking without returning to your vehicle.
If your condition is less urgent (minor cuts, sore ear or throat, mild illness), consider whether a walk-in clinic in Regina might be a faster option, as RGH serves as the regional trauma centre and volumes can be high.
Grab food or coffee at the Robin's Donuts Kiosk near the front entrance, which is open 24/7 — useful for companions who may be waiting during extended visits.
