Online Scheduling*
Find projected treatment times at Commonwealth Health emergency rooms. Instead of sitting in the waiting room, enjoy the convenience and comfort of waiting at home. Once you arrive at your designated time, you will be promptly seen by a healthcare professional. This service does not allow patients to skip in front of other visitors; all patients are seen based on the hospital's standard triage and queuing process. Online check-in should not be used for emergencies.
