Wait times represent the average estimated length of time from registration to being assigned
a "first provider" (a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant). Times displayed for
Atlantic Health Systems are:
Reported as an average of wait times for the previous 2 hours of patients that have
presented to the emergency department and have been seen by a provider
Refreshed at least every 15 minutes
Many circumstances can affect wait times - for example, patients arriving by ambulance or with
life-threatening injuries or illnesses. Patients with severe conditions will be seen before those
with less-serious problems or ailments. These times are provided for informational purposes only
and cannot be guaranteed upon arrival.
