Current data from urgencesquebec.com suggests a general improvement in Quebec's emergency room conditions as of June 28, 2026. The provincial stretcher occupancy rate sits at 75%, a notable decrease from 81% recorded ten days ago. Total patients waiting for care have dropped significantly by nearly 500 individuals relative to the June 19 comparison, indicating a reduction in overall system pressure.
Despite these provincial improvements, regional disparities persist. Laval and the Laurentides are currently over capacity at 120% and 107% stretcher occupancy, while Montérégie and Montréal continue to report high patient volumes. The CHUM and Hôpital Pierre-Boucher are currently the busiest facilities, highlighting localized strain amidst an otherwise cooling provincial trend.
