Urgences Sante

Urgences-Santé is the largest ambulance organization in Quebec, employing over 1,700 staff members and handling 40% of all emergency calls in the province, providing approximately 270,000 annual interventions. They operate three operational centers, serving 18 emergency rooms, one airport, one metro, and a population of 2.5 million across Montreal and Laval.

All ambulance transports incur a cost set by the Quebec government, which has remained unchanged since 1997, requiring residents to personally cover their bills or go through private insurance. However, specific programs are available that may waive fees for eligible residents, such as seniors aged 65 and over, for whom transportation is deemed medically or socially necessary.
