Our 24/7 Emergency Department offers a well-supported and efficient clinical environment that has been recently updated with new equipment and safety enhancements.

The department includes two resuscitation rooms, four exam rooms,



five observation stretchers, three holding beds, and a dedicated safe room.

The ED sees approximately 40–70 patients per 24-hour period, with most presentations being lower acuity while still offering opportunities to manage complex medical cases.

Major trauma is rare.

Physicians work alongside a collaborative interdisciplinary team that includes a Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, experienced nursing staff, physiotherapy, a Geriatric Emergency Management Nurse, ward clerks, and 24/7 administrative support.

New physicians also benefit from strong mentorship from a supportive local physician group, as well as access to the Emergency Department Peer-to-Peer Program, available 24/7.
