Here you will find information about our visitor policy, information for patients and their loved ones, and details about the COVID-19 virus, including symptoms and screening.
Visitors & caregivers
We know how important visitors are to our patients; however, it is vital to keep patient, staff and visitor safety our number one priority.
In most cases, in-patients who will be staying in hospital for longer than three days may designate one essential care partner to visit them in hospital for a maximum of two hours each day.
At this time, family members or companions may not accompany outpatients to their appointments or procedures, except in special circumstances.
