About Ridge Meadows Hospital
Ridge Meadows Hospital is a hospital in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. Emergency department: All ages. This service is open 24 hours a day.
Ridge Meadows Hospital, known as RMH, is Fraser Health's hospital at 11666 Laity Street in Maple Ridge. It opened on March 1, 1958 as Maple Ridge Hospital, with 63 beds. A new emergency department and outpatient care centre, a $20.9-million project, and a new psychiatric unit opened in 2009, and the MRI suite began accepting patients in November 2020. In February 2025 the telemetry unit grew from seven to 13 beds. Fraser Health lists an intensive care unit, an inpatient psychiatry unit, a pediatrics unit for patients under 17 years minus one day, level-one maternity care for low-risk births with the labour and delivery suite on 2North, general surgery and surgical daycare, an outpatient oncology clinic, and CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray, mammography and laboratory services at the site.
The emergency department is open 24 hours a day, every day, and sees patients of all ages. It opened in 2009 in a new building, as the Greg Moore Emergency Department, on the main floor; the province said the new department was triple the size of the old one. Ridge Meadows is still a delivery site, but Fraser Health posts temporary maternity diversions on its website. For health concerns that are not emergencies, Fraser Health points to the Ridge Meadows Urgent and Primary Care Centre at #121-11900 Haney Place, in Haney Place Mall, Maple Ridge, where urgent care is open 9 am to 8 pm every day, including statutory holidays (604-476-4650). 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.

Ridge Meadows Hospital ER questions
Understanding the wait
Why isn't the Ridge Meadows 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 The latest update may be unavailable or out of date.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 Ridge Meadows 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 Ridge Meadows 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.
Is the estimated length of stay at Ridge Meadows 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.
How often does edwaittimes.ca update Ridge Meadows 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.
Why can the wait at Ridge Meadows 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.

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.
