ED Tip! We know that waiting in the Emergency Department can be difficult. Bringing headphones may help make the wait a little more comfortable. Whether you’re listening to music, a podcast, or your favourite show, having something to focus on can help pass the time. A charger can also be useful to keep your device powered while you wait.

Summer months bring excitement and adventure, but they also mean a busier time for our Emergency Department. From outdoor injuries to seasonal illnesses, we see an increase in visits, so longer wait times can sometimes happen.

We know every visit is important, and waiting in the ED can be stressful, especially when you’re not feeling your best. That’s why we want to help you understand why you might be waiting and what’s happening behind the scenes while you're here.

Introducing our Monday Mental Health Moment!

Every other Monday, we'll be sharing a simple strategy or helpful reminder to support your mental well-being. These small moments are designed to help you pause and prioritize your mental health because taking care of yourself matters.

Belly Breathing (Diaphragmatic Breathing)

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Try this simple reset:

🫁 Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.
🌿 Slowly breathe in through your nose, letting your belly rise.
💙 Exhale slowly through your mouth.

Repeat for 1 to 2 minutes.

This type of breathing helps calm your nervous system and reduce stress.
