Emergency Rooms in Sherbrooke

Sherbrooke has 5 emergency departments — 5 open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 2 of 5 currently have live wait time data.

Wait time data for Sherbrooke is sourced from Santé Québec (Index santé) and updates as frequently as every 15 minutes. ERstat displays the estimated time from triage registration to being seen by a physician.

All emergency departments in Sherbrooke use the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to prioritize patients. Patients with more serious conditions are always seen first, regardless of arrival time or displayed wait. A shorter posted wait does not guarantee a shorter visit — it depends on the severity of your condition relative to other patients in the department.
