Emergency Department Wait Times

Emergency Care at St. Mary’s is 24/7, 365 days of the year.

St. Mary's General Hospital's Emergency Department is open 24/7 and not impacted by closures. Please seek care here if you need it. We are experiencing a very high volume of patients seeking care so please be prepared to wait longer as we prioritize the needs of each patient.

If your needs are non-emergent in nature, please access one of the many health care options available in the community such as your primary care provider or your nearest Walk-In Clinic in Waterloo Region. 

We ask for everyone’s patience as our teams prioritize the needs of each patient.
