St. Anthony's ER is the only emergency facility serving Esterhazy and the surrounding region — for life-threatening emergencies, call 911 and ambulance services are operated directly from the hospital.
Triage is based on medical urgency, not arrival order — patients with more serious conditions will be seen before those with minor concerns, regardless of when they arrived.
For non-urgent medical questions or to confirm services before visiting, call the hospital at (306) 745-3973 during admitting hours (Mon–Fri, 8:00am–4:30pm).
If you need routine lab work or X-rays, visit during scheduled hours (lab: Mon–Fri 8:00am–3:30pm; X-ray: Mon–Fri 8:30am–4:30pm) to avoid wait times associated with emergency-only staffing.
Patients who may require specialized care — such as advanced cardiac procedures or complex trauma — should be aware they may be stabilized and then transferred to a larger regional hospital.
