Queen Elizabeth Ii Hospital

Over the 15 years that my wife and I have lived in grande prairie we have had to visit the hospital for the birth of my son, many infections, various stitches, some life saving surgery’s for my wife, the finding of cancer for me, the care of my brother in law until he finally passed away, and my friend Max’s poor little lacerated spleen. The staff has always been great and done their best. Yes the ER is busy, we just spent 4 hours waiting to get my wife’s bladder infection diagnosed, but now she’s gonna be ok. I have a lot of great memories at this hospital and i really appreciate it that it exists. Most of all a huge THANK YOU to all the staff, the custodians, the nurses the doctors and the administration!

My family has never had an issue with seeing a Dr. in Emergency, especially when not being from GP. When needed to it was in and out. We were referred to GP at 10 pm on a Saturday for an ultrasound for my son and they met met the door at admissions and were doing the ultrasound within 10 minutes. I swear the whole visit was an hour maybe an hour and half. The nurses and Dr.s are respectful, amazing and compassionate humans. We all need to remember the word triage, they don't make people wait and don't think everyone isn't as important as the next person they have policies they have to follow too as any job. We should all be thankful we have amazing people like Dr's and Nurses to care of our grandparents, parents, and children.

Need more personal
More than one doctor working nights

Horrible parking. And horrible wait time, instead of 45min-2.5 hour wait it should definitely say 2.5hour-8hour wait or more. I cannot wait for this new hospital, hopefully we get more doctors in :)

I used to live in Camrose and there was always more then one doctor to help people in Emergency at night. In G.P they only have 1 on and people wait hours before being seen or wait hours just to get into a room which I find ridiculous considering that I've seen tons of empty rooms when my dad had surgery he and two others were the only ones on the entire floor. When my father in-law had lung cancer he waited 8 hrs for a room. My question is how can they get a new hospital and act like it's going to run smoother when they can't even run this one? My sister has witnessed a man with a gash on his forehead passed out on the floor 2 years ago as reception just walked past. You want to see a great hospital being run and putting everyone through fast go to Camrose. If your old retire in Camrose where they save lives don't retire here you would have way less than 50% chance of surviving going to G.P's hospital. They don't know how to run a hospital and act like they're short staffed maybe they are and if they are how is that going to changed when the new hospital is open. I come to college here back in the 90's and nothing has changed from then to now in terms of wait times other then the reception area in emergency got a make over.

Had my 8 month old baby with a severe ear and throat infection. Puss coming out of ears a bloody throat and hadn't eaten anything all day. He throws up his medication so we were told by 811 nurse and our peditrician that he will need an IV if this continues. We brought him into gp hospital and the triage looked at him for 2 seconds and because he wasn't short of breath they ruled him as a mom priority. He was so tired he couldn't cry and they took that as a sign that he's obviously not in very much discomfort. When I politely asked what order my son was in she told me that 3.5 hours isn't that long and they see sick babies all the time in here so no big deal right. I then let her know that her bed side manner is terrible and the tone in which she is talking to a father of a very sick baby is awe full and she should be ashamed of herself. Everyone has the right to feel like there child is important and not just another number in a line. Grande prairie hospital is aweful so go to beaver lodge; worth the drive. I hope when the new hospital opens it bring fresh faces and people who seem to actually like their jobs and want to help people.

When I was referred there the doctor was super nice. We were in and out quickly. Much better treatment than I received at hospitals in Ontario.

1 hour and 18 mins isn't a long time to be in pain that is bullshlt should be 30 mins no longer this is not right

Hopefully they get friendlier office staff if they ever open the new hospital.

Great staff! Can't wait for the new hospital to open :)

I've been here multiple times in the past year and every single time I've been surprised at how little time we waited to see the doctor (at emerge) always been less then 3 hours (once it was an hour). When I use to live in Ottawa you were lucky if you got out of there in 6 hours. Staff have always been nice with us. The only thing I don't like is the parking situation however is something you could say about almost every hospital in the country nowadays, how is it fair you have to pay to park at the hospital?

real joke!!! shame of the health care system ... im from Calgary and got the bad luck to have an operation there ,now I am moving out of province and need my file and imaging. they said that I need to drive 10 hours to get my cd with imaging on it?!? funny because I called peter lougheed hospital and they can fax me the paper so I get my file from there hospital. why not grand prairies ? shame on you idiots!!!!

Awful!!! Parking is ridiculous and one time I waited 4 hours just to get told to go home! Wasn't even busy that time!! Some of the nurses are very snobby and disrespectful. When I got admitted they were cleaning my room, the ladies cloth was seriously black dirty , yet she still used it to wipe up the room instead of getting a clean one... There's so much wrong with this hospital. Never again.
