Low Wait Times
Accidents and illness can happen fast, but at the MetroWest Medical Center Emergency Departments at Leonard Morse Hospital and Framingham Union Hospital, you’ll find fast emergency care. We work to keep our wait times low and address your medical
crisis as soon as possible.
Please remember, we provide care to the most critical cases first. Patients are evaluated on arrival by a registered nurse and are then seen by an emergency medical provider based on severity. If an ambulance arrives with a critical patient or
there is an emergency situation, the wait time for other patients may be affected, and wait times are always subject to change.
