Mississippi emergency room wait times

ER wait times › Mississippi

Across 76 Mississippi hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 6 min — 24 min shorter than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Covington County Hospital CAH at 1 hr 14 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.
