Tips Before You Go

• Bring your Saskatchewan Health Card — it is required for insured services at this facility.
• Carry a written list of your current medications and dosages, especially if you are managing a chronic condition or were recently prescribed new drugs.
• If your condition worsens while you are waiting, immediately notify the triage nurse — you will be reassessed and your priority can change.
• Patients requiring advanced cardiac care, neurosurgery, or major trauma intervention may be stabilized at Rosetown and transferred to Saskatoon. If you anticipate needing specialist-level care, plan for potential transfer.
• Appointments cannot be made in the emergency department — patients are seen in order of medical urgency, not arrival time, so be prepared to wait if your condition is non-urgent.
