About HSC Children's Hospital
HSC Children's Hospital is a hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Children's emergency: Children & teens (16 and under). This service is open 24 hours a day.
HSC Children's Hospital is the children's hospital of Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg, Manitoba's provincial tertiary centre for pediatric care, run by Shared Health. The Children's Hospital of Winnipeg joined Winnipeg General Hospital and others to form Health Sciences Centre in 1973.
The Children's Emergency is for all patients 16 years or younger; go to 700 William Avenue and report to the Triage Desk. Children are registered, triaged by a nurse and seen in order of priority, not arrival time. HSC suggests that mild cold and flu symptoms may be assessed by a primary care provider or clinic instead, which can save a trip and a long wait.

HSC Children's Hospital ER questions
Understanding the wait
Why isn't the HSC Children's Hospital ER wait showing right now?

How is the HSC Children's Hospital ER wait time calculated?
WRHA HSC Children's Emergency publishes it as "Wait to see a physician, PA or NP": The time in hours between being registered and seeing a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner. Due to rapidly changing demands and the need to see the sickest patients first, WRHA notes that your own wait time may be more or less than the time displayed. We check it every 5 minutes. People with the most urgent needs are always seen first, so your own wait may be shorter or longer.
