Current Emergency Department Wait Time
Due to rapidly changing demands in the Emergency Department and the need to see the sickest patients first, your own wait time may be more or less than the time displayed here.
There are many care options available to you when you require medical assistance. If you need urgent medical attention for serious illness or injury, visit an Emergency Department. A doctor or nurse will assess your condition and decide on a course of treatment. Go to the Emergency Department if you’re experiencing a medical emergency.
If your situation is not a medical emergency, you should choose a different health care option. View the brochure below to learn about your healthcare options, including the emergency department, primary care providers, walk-in and urgent care clinics, mental health and crisis services, and more.
If your healthcare matter is non-urgent, please know your healthcare options.
