How wait times are calculated

Above are the average wait times experienced in the past hour, three-hour, and six-hour time frames. Please note:

  • You will be seen immediately if your medical condition is deemed to be life-threatening.
  • You will be screened quickly, even if your wait time appears to be long. "Wait time" is defined as the time you arrive in the Emergency Department to when you are placed in an exam room.
  • Displayed wait times are averages and may not be your experience. Your wait may vary, based on your medical condition and rapidly changing conditions within the Emergency Department.
  • Patients may be transferred to another UI Health Care Emergency Department location if necessary.
  • Afternoon and evening hours are generally busier and more likely to require a longer wait. We will do our best to see you as soon as possible.

For illnesses and injuries that are not life-threatening and don’t require emergency medicine, visit our same-day care page to find health care options that fit your needs.

Emergency medicine services at Medical Center North Liberty

The Emergency Department at the North Liberty campus is a Level 4 trauma center. Our services at this location include evaluation, stabilization, and diagnostic imaging for injured patients.

Emergency care physicians are available around the clock. Located in the same facility as the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, patients requiring musculoskeletal care have access to the top orthopedic specialists and orthopedic surgeons in the state.

Our providers also have the expertise and trained staff to stabilize trauma patients prior to transfer to higher levels of care, if needed. In some cases, some patients who require a higher level of care will be transferred to our university or downtown campus locations once they have been stabilized.

Note: Patients with non-orthopedic medical conditions will not be admitted to the inpatient unit at the North Liberty campus.
