Fraser Health ER Wait Times

At 5:25 pm PDT, no ER listed here had a current published wait. edwaittimes.ca still lists them, so check each listing for whether it is open; this page shows the waits again as soon as they are published. If it is an emergency, call 911.

edwaittimes.ca publishes "9 in 10 patients seen within": 'Wait Time' is the time it takes for almost all patients – 9 out of every 10 who visit the ED – to be seen by a physician. This is also known as the 90th percentile and is the time in which 90% of all people seeking care will be seen. Some people, about 10%, may have to wait longer than this time. Wait time refers to the length of time between being assessed by a triage nurse and seeing a doctor or nurse practitioner.

These measures can differ in their starting point and statistic. Compare estimates within the same measurement group. Patients with the most urgent needs are seen first.

Providers publish estimates on different schedules. Our checks are separate from those updates, and the displayed number may stay the same after a check. Each listing shows its available timestamp; check the source-specific frequencies below.

Yes: Surrey Memorial Hospital. Children's emergency departments see children and teens; adults should go to an adult or all-ages ER. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Fraser Health's ten emergency departments are listed here and publish a wait when edwaittimes.ca has one. Its urgent and primary care centres show hours only, so they appear without a wait.

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, and its waits are listed separately. If you are not sure where to go, call HealthLink BC at 811 for advice from a nurse.

Yes. Fraser Health's ten emergency departments are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: Abbotsford Regional, Burnaby, Chilliwack General, Delta, Eagle Ridge, Langley Memorial, Peace Arch, Ridge Meadows, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals. Surrey Memorial also has a separate children's emergency for ages 16 and under. In an emergency, call 911.

No. edwaittimes.ca shows only whether each Fraser Health urgent and primary care centre (UPCC) is open and its hours, not a wait. Urgent care hours can be shorter than a centre's opening hours: at Edmonds UPCC in Burnaby, for example, urgent care runs only from 5 pm to 9 pm on weekdays. Check a centre's hours before you go, and if it is an emergency, call 911.

Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster is Fraser Health's Level 1 trauma centre, and Abbotsford Regional Hospital is a district Level III trauma centre. Fraser Health names Abbotsford Regional, Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial as its stroke unit sites. For signs of a stroke or a serious injury, call 911 rather than driving: paramedics take you to the hospital that can treat you.

For problems that are not emergencies, Fraser Health Virtual Care is available at 1-800-314-0999, and HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 gives advice from a nurse 24 hours a day. Neither replaces 911 in an emergency.
