Emergency Department Wait Time

Our wait times are defined as the length of time between when a visitor registers at the emergency department to the time where they see a qualified medical professional.

  • We take the wait time for all patients who came to our emergency department in the past hour.
  • That average wait time is then posted to the website every 60 minutes.
  • Because the Emergency Department’s triage system prioritizes by medical urgency, actual wait times vary. Patients with the most urgent needs may be seen sooner than the displayed time.
