The Emergency Department is a 54 bed unit that serves the communities of Halton, Halton Hills and the surrounding areas. Last year, we had approximately 78,000 visits although the number is estimated to climb to 81,000 this year.
Our ED serves patients of all ages and treats patients of every medical and mental health illness.
Our ED has uniquely built in a 5 bed mental health unit and a dedicated DI cluster to better service our patients.
Our roaming triage model helps us to quickly triage patients and deploy them to the most appropriate area of the department where they will be treated.
Our 24-hour staff are fortunate to be comprised of nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and many other members of a very robust multidisciplinary team. Dedicated internal medicine in the ED working with two nurse practitioners helps to ensure comprehensive assessments of patients for timely referrals and/or admission.
