Emergency Department Update

 

If you or your child are experiencing a medical emergency, please visit your local emergency department or call 911 immediately.

 

Like all hospitals in Ontario, we are seeing a higher number of patients, including children, coming to our Emergency Departments (ED). Patients are prioritized based on their care needs when they arrive which means the sickest people will be seen first. People with less serious concerns will wait longer. For more details, visit our Emergency Department page.

For specialized information from trusted pediatric experts please visit AboutKidsHealth.ca, a resource on children's health by The Hospital for Sick Children|SickKids.
