Arizona emergency room wait times
ER wait times › Arizona
Across 62 Arizona hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 58 min — 28 min longer than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Page Hospital at 1 hr 18 min.
Medians over a full year, for patients treated and discharged rather than admitted. Busy hospitals treat sicker patients, so a longer wait is not by itself a mark against a hospital. How this measure works.
