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 Alberta Health Services defines it
The colours are set by us, not by Alberta Health Services. Under 2 hours is the Canadian goal for even the least urgent patients. cihi.ca

About South Calgary Health Centre
South Calgary Health Centre is a urgent care centre in Calgary, Alberta. Urgent care: All ages.
South Calgary Health Centre (SCHC) is an Alberta Health Services health centre in southeast Calgary, formerly called South Community Health Centre and South Calgary Urgent Care. Besides urgent care, it has public health, community rehabilitation, addiction and mental health clinics, a diabetes centre and hemodialysis run by Alberta Kidney Care – South.
Urgent care is on the first floor, through the central entrance. It takes new patients of all ages from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 365 days a year, and AHS asks people to arrive well before closing. It treats unexpected but non-life-threatening problems such as broken bones, sprains, cuts, asthma, dehydration, pain and infections. X-ray, lab tests and urgent mental health support are on site, and the sickest patients are seen first.
It is not an emergency department: for chest pain, stroke symptoms or a serious injury, call 911. After 8 p.m., or if you're unsure where to go, Health Link at 811 can help around the clock.

South Calgary Health Centre urgent care questions
Understanding the wait
Why isn't the South Calgary Health Centre urgent care wait showing right now?
We do not have a current wait estimate from Alberta Health Services 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 The latest update may be unavailable or out of date.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: Alberta Health Services
How is the South Calgary Health Centre urgent care wait time calculated?
Alberta Health Services publishes it as "Estimated wait to see a physician": An estimate of how long it might take from an assessment by a triage nurse in the emergency department or urgent care to being seen by a physician. It does not represent the total time patients may spend at the hospital, and it does not apply to critically ill or injured patients, who are always seen quickly. 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.

Is there an urgent care near South Calgary Health Centre with a shorter wait?

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.
