An estimate for someone arriving now, not a guaranteed wait. It is not the total time at the hospital. Sicker patients are seen first. How Winnipeg Regional Health Authority defines it

About St. Boniface Hospital

St. Boniface Hospital is a hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Emergency department: All ages. This service is open 24 hours a day.

St. Boniface Hospital was founded by the Grey Nuns in 1871 as a four-bed hospital, the first in Western Canada. Today it is a Catholic tertiary care hospital affiliated with the University of Manitoba, at 409 Taché Avenue near the fork of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, and one of Manitoba's largest health care facilities.

Its emergency department sees about 42,000 patients a year, over 115 a day, of all ages, with illnesses from minor to life-threatening. St. Boniface is the centre for the regional cardiac sciences program and a referral site for stroke patients and acute care surgery, so its emergency department plays a major role for those patients. Only patients seeking emergency care, and those with them, may use the Emergency entrance (South Entrance, near Taché and Goulet).

St. Boniface Hospital ER questions

Understanding the wait

Why isn't the St. Boniface Hospital ER wait showing right now?

We do not have a current wait estimate from Winnipeg Regional Health Authority 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 The latest update may be unavailable or out of date.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.

How is the St. Boniface Hospital ER wait time calculated?

Winnipeg Regional Health Authority 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.

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.

Should I go to urgent care instead of St. Boniface 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 Health Links – Info Santé at 204-788-8200 for advice from a nurse.
