Emergency departments in acute care hospitals listed above are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to address the most serious and life-threatening health issues. Call 911 or go to emergency for issues such as:

• stroke/facial weakness / extremity weakness

If your issue is not life-threatening, you may wait longer at an emergency department because more serious cases will be given priority.
