Tips Before You Go

• Bring a valid Saskatchewan health card — patients without provincial coverage or from Quebec or outside Canada will be charged a minimum fee of $50.00, payable before seeing a physician.
• You cannot make an appointment in the emergency department. Patients are seen based on medical urgency, not order of arrival, so be prepared to wait if your condition is non-urgent.
• If your condition or a loved one's condition worsens while waiting, notify a triage nurse immediately — do not wait to be called.
• The Weyburn General Hospital ER does not have a designated on-site staff physician at all times; the department is intended for genuine emergencies, not as a substitute for a family doctor visit.
• For non-urgent health questions, call Saskatchewan HealthLine at 8-1-1 before heading to the ER — a registered nurse can advise whether an ER visit is necessary.
• Associated community services are available nearby, including Mental Health (306-842-8665 or 1-800-216-7689), Physical & Occupational Therapy (306-842-8443), and Addiction Services (306-842-8693).

What to Bring

• Valid provincial health card (e.g., Saskatchewan Health Card)
• Government-issued photo ID
• List of current medications, dosages, and allergies
• Provincial health card or payment method if you are from Quebec or out of country (minimum $50.00 fee applies)
• Insurance information if applicable
• List of previous medical conditions and surgeries
• Emergency contact name and phone number
• Comfortable clothing and something to occupy your time while waiting
