What does this number mean?
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 Halton Healthcare defines it
The colours are set by us, not by Halton Healthcare. Under 2 hours is the Canadian goal for even the least urgent patients. cihi.ca

About Georgetown Hospital
Georgetown Hospital is a hospital in Georgetown, Ontario. Emergency department. This service is open 24 hours a day.
Georgetown Hospital is a Halton Healthcare community hospital at 1 Princess Anne Drive in Georgetown, part of the Town of Halton Hills. It opened in 1961 on a 17-acre site and serves Halton Hills and nearby communities in Peel Region.
Its emergency department is open 24 hours a day for patients of all ages, with CT, X-ray, ultrasound and a lab on site. Instead of a full intensive care unit, Georgetown has an observation unit for patients who need closer monitoring; it can support a patient on a ventilator for up to 18 hours, and patients who need longer support are transferred to other hospitals.
Birthing services at Georgetown are temporarily relocated to Milton District Hospital until at least late fall/winter 2026, and there is currently no on-call obstetrician/gynecologist in Georgetown. For emergency care for pregnancy or gynecological concerns, Halton Healthcare asks patients to go to Milton District Hospital or Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
