Erie Shores HealthCare's Emergency Department Wait Times

Why The Wait?

You may have noticed that our Emergency Department has been busier than usual. Our apologies for any lengthy waits, as we've been seeing higher volumes, higher acuity, and increasing numbers of ambulances coming into our Emergency Room from across Essex County and the City of Windsor. We appreciate your patience.

Other Care Options

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, consider other healthcare options before entering the hospital. A list of alternatives to the hospital Emergency Department is available on this website: ED Alternatives.

About Wait Times

Wait times are updated every 15 minutes and are estimates from when patients are assessed at triage to when they’re seen by a physician.

Due to rapidly changing demands in the Emergency Department and the need to see the sickest patients first, your own wait time may be more or less than the time displayed here.
