Frequently Asked Questions:
How long will I have to wait?
- SBGHC is proud to have very short wait times compared to the provincial average.
- Your wait time may vary depending on the level of activity in the department.
- We encourage you to ask the nurse the approximate wait time.
Is there a doctor on site?
- Whether the physician is present on site is based on the annual number of patients seen.
- While our Kincardine site has a doctor on site 24/7; Walkerton, Durham and Chesley have a doctor available 24/7 but they may not be physically in the building.
- Nursing staff notify the physician as soon as you arrive in the Emergency Department. Based on your triage level, the physician has a designated amount of time to respond.
