Emergency Services:
What to expect during your visit

What happens when I first arrive?

If you arrive at the emergency department with a life-threatening condition, you will be taken directly to a treatment area and cared for immediately. If your condition is not life threatening, you will be directed to the triage area. The process of making sure that patients with the most serious needs are treated first is known as "triage." This means that heart attacks have priority over earaches and complicated fractures are treated before small cuts.

How long will I have to wait?
