Emergency Room Wait Time Explanation

Huntsville Hospital Emergency Department wait times are approximate and intended for informational purposes only. If you are having a medical emergency, call 9-1-1.

The ED wait time is updated every fifteen minutes and represents the average time it takes for a patient to be placed into a treatment room to be seen by the Emergency Department practitioner on duty.

Patients are triaged (evaluated) on arrival by a registered nurse and are then seen by an emergency medicine provider based on severity. Those determined to require immediate attention will go directly to a room.

Please remember, we provide care to the most critical cases first. If an ambulance arrives with a critical patient or there is an emergency situation, the wait time for other patients may be affected. Wait times are always subject to change.
