What does this number mean?

9 in 10 patients are seen within this time; about 1 in 10 wait longer. It is not the total time at the hospital, and sicker patients are seen first. How edwaittimes.ca defines it

About Delta Hospital

Delta Hospital is a hospital in Delta, British Columbia. Emergency department: All ages. This service is open 24 hours a day.

Delta Hospital is a Fraser Health community hospital at 5800 Mountain View Blvd in Delta, in the community of Ladner. It opened in 1980 as Delta Centennial Hospital, and Fraser Health also calls the site the Delta Hospital Campus of Care. It offers general surgery with a surgical daycare, endoscopy through its ambulatory care unit, and CT, ultrasound, X-ray, fluoroscopy, mammography and echocardiography. CT, ultrasound, X-ray and mammography are in the Toigo Diagnostic Services Building, which opened in March 2020, and 3D mammography was added there in 2024. MRI is not yet available: Fraser Health said in June 2026 that the MRI project is expected to be completed in December 2028. The 200-bed Beedie Long-term Care Centre is being built on the hospital site to replace the 92 beds at Mountain View Manor. Delta Hospital does not have a maternity unit, an intensive care unit or an inpatient children's unit.

The emergency department is open 24 hours a day, every day, and sees patients of all ages. In August 2026 Fraser Health described the hiring of emergency physicians and nurses as part of efforts to stabilize it. The Ladner Exchange bus loop is next door and on-site parking is free. For urgent but non-life-threatening concerns that need attention within 12 to 24 hours, Fraser Health points to the South Delta After-Hours Urgent and Primary Care Centre at #1826-4949 Canoe Pass Way in Tsawwassen, open Monday to Friday from 4:30 pm to 8 pm and on weekends and statutory holidays from 9 am to 3 pm. Since August 2026 Fraser Health has shown its emergency wait times as unavailable on edwaittimes.ca, and this page will show the wait as soon as it is published again. Fraser Health Virtual Care is available at 1-800-314-0999.

Delta Hospital ER questions

Understanding the wait

Why isn't the Delta Hospital ER wait showing right now?

We do not have a current wait estimate from edwaittimes.ca for this site. The latest update may be unavailable or out of date. This page shows the number again when a current reading is available. If it is an emergency, call 911.

Source: edwaittimes.ca

Is there an ER near Delta Hospital with a shorter wait?

"Nearby ER wait times right now", at the end of this page, lists the nearest tracked sites with their current waits. These are the nearest facilities in our tracked dataset, not necessarily every local care option. A shorter estimate is not a recommendation to travel farther. If it is an emergency, call 911.

Source: edwaittimes.ca

What does the Delta Hospital ER wait time mean?

edwaittimes.ca describes its ED wait as the time from triage assessment to seeing a doctor or nurse practitioner. The displayed estimate is the 90th percentile: about 9 in 10 patients are seen within that time, while about 1 in 10 may wait longer. It is not an average, an appointment time or a guarantee.

Source: edwaittimes.ca: about the estimates

Is the estimated length of stay at Delta Hospital the same as the wait time?

No. Estimated length of stay covers arrival to discharge home for 75% of patients, excluding people admitted to hospital. It includes assessment, tests and treatment. The wait-to-clinician estimate and this total-visit measure describe different parts of care.

Source: edwaittimes.ca: about the estimates

How often does edwaittimes.ca update Delta Hospital's estimate?

The publisher says its online estimates refresh every five minutes. This is separate from our checks of the source and does not mean the number must change at every refresh. The page shows the timestamp available for the latest information.

Source: edwaittimes.ca: about the estimates

Why can the wait at Delta Hospital change?

Demand can change suddenly as patients arrive, particularly after a serious incident. Patients with more urgent needs receive priority, so your own wait can be shorter or longer than the estimate.

Should I go to urgent care instead of Delta Hospital?

Call 911 for anything life-threatening. An emergency department is for serious problems that need a hospital. Urgent care treats problems that are not life-threatening but need care the same day. For minor problems, a family doctor, walk-in clinic or pharmacist may be quicker. If you are not sure where to go, call HealthLink BC at 811 for advice from a nurse.

Where is the nearest urgent care to Delta Hospital?

Fraser Health points to the South Delta After-Hours Urgent and Primary Care Centre at #1826-4949 Canoe Pass Way in Tsawwassen, open Monday to Friday 4:30 pm to 8 pm and on weekends and statutory holidays 9 am to 3 pm. It is for concerns that need attention within 12 to 24 hours but are not life-threatening. For a serious problem, go to Delta Hospital or call 911.

Should I choose Delta Hospital using the online wait time?

The figures provide general information, not a recommendation about where to seek care. Travel, recent treatment at a hospital and your health needs also matter. For a serious emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For advice about non-emergency options, contact HealthLink BC at 811.
