New Hampshire emergency room wait times

ER wait times › New Hampshire

Across 28 New Hampshire hospitals that report the measure, the median emergency department visit lasts 2 hr 42 min — 12 min longer than the national median of 2 hr 30 min. The shortest is Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital at 1 hr 25 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.
