Niagara's Emergency Department staff and physicians work hard to provide all patients with safe, quality care in a timely manner. However, wait times, like in all Emergency Departments in Ontario, may be long for those with less serious concerns.
We encourage you to know your healthcare options before visiting an ED. For non-life-threatening emergencies, please consider alternatives such as family doctors, Urgent Care Centres, walk-in clinics, virtual urgent care or pharmacies.
