Santa Cabrini Hospital Emergency Room

Santa Cabrini Hospital Emergency Room is located at 5655 Rue Saint-Zotique Est in the east end of Montréal, Quebec, serving patients across the H1T area and surrounding neighborhoods. It operates as part of the CIUSSS de l'Est-de-l'Île-de-Montréal, the integrated health and social services network responsible for coordinating care across Montreal's eastern boroughs.

When you arrive at the emergency room, you can expect triage to take place promptly. A nurse will assess the urgency of your condition and prioritize care accordingly. Wait times can vary depending on how many patients are being seen and the severity of cases presenting at the time of your visit. Bringing your health insurance card, a list of current medications, and any relevant medical history will help the care team assist you more efficiently.

The emergency department handles a wide range of urgent and acute medical situations. Whether you are experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, a serious injury, a sudden neurological symptom, or another condition that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment, the team is equipped to assess and stabilize patients in need of immediate attention. Emergency physicians, nurses, and support staff work together to provide timely evaluation, diagnostic testing, and treatment.

For patients who speak French, English, or other languages, the hospital is situated in a diverse part of Montréal where multilingual care needs are common. Staff at facilities within the CIUSSS network are generally accustomed to serving a varied patient population.

After receiving emergency care, you may be admitted to the hospital for further observation or treatment, referred to a specialist, or discharged with follow-up instructions. It is important to understand any discharge paperwork you receive and to follow up with a family doctor or walk-in clinic if ongoing care is recommended. If you do not have a family physician, the CIUSSS website offers guidance on how to access a primary care provider in the region.

For non-urgent health concerns, exploring options like a local walk-in clinic or Info-Santé 811 before visiting an emergency room can help ensure that emergency resources remain available for those who need them most.
