Increase in hours for Saskatoon City Hospital Emergency Department
Saskatoon City Hospital Emergency Department (ED) is increasing its hours of operation from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., effective Sunday, June 29.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has made progress in stabilizing its physician staffing and is taking a phased approach in resuming SCH ED’s full operational hours. This follows a temporary reduction of hours announced early this spring. This phased approach will allow for appropriate support across all three Saskatoon emergency departments during the coming months, particularly over summer, while work continues on the planned addition of 109 acute care beds at Saskatoon City Hospital.
In addition to the increased hours at SCH ED, the following Saskatoon emergency departments remain available to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:
- Royal University Hospital Emergency Department – 103 Hospital Dr.
- St. Paul’s Hospital Emergency Department – 1702 20th St. W.
For non-emergency medical concerns:
- Call HealthLine 811 – available 24/7 for professional health advice
- Visit a walk-in clinic – check local clinic hours as schedules may vary
- Pharmacies – some pharmacies may remain open to assist with minor health needs
The SHA remains committed to a full resumption of hours at Saskatoon City Hospital in the coming months. It extends its appreciation to health-care staff and physicians who are providing essential services in both acute and community settings, and is grateful for the public’s understanding and cooperation during this time.
