Interfaith hospital is named as the hospital in NYS with the longest wait to be seen at its ER.

Longer than Kings County? 

That IS bad.

Interfaith had the longest mean wait time for treatment in which the patient did not need to be admitted.

However, King County was longer in instances in which the patient did need to be admitted:

"The outlook was equally dim for those who needed to be admitted; on average, those folks waited 643 minutes to land a room, second-worst to Kings County Hospital, where admitted patients waited an average of 1,115 minutes."

For those who need help with division, that is 10.71 hours and 18.58 hours, respectively.
