                    Emergency department

                    Our emergency department diagnoses and treats health emergencies 24 hours a day, every day. If you have a life-threatening illness or injury, call 911.

                    For health concerns that are not an emergency, phone:

                    • your family doctor
                    • Health Link (811) to speak to a registered nurse

                    Wait times

                    We see the sickest patients first, regardless of when they arrive.

                    How long you wait can depend on the time of day and how busy we are at the time.

                    What to bring to the emergency department

                    If possible, bring:

                    • your provincial healthcare card
                    • a list of your medications
                    • contact information for your doctor

                    We acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7 and 8. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands and all future generations. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.
