Visitor Information
Masking requirements have changed. Please review masking guidelines below to ensure a safe environment for everyone, as well as limit the risk of transmission and outbreaks.
Hospital-approved masks will be readily available at the entrances, ambulatory clinics and inpatient units.
Masking remains mandatory in the following areas:
- Patient rooms
- Clinical exam rooms
- Emergency Department
- Cancer Care Clinic
- Out-patient Nephrology Clinics Waiting Areas (Church Campus only)
Masking is optional in all other areas, however, we recommend wearing a mask when social distancing is not possible, such as our waiting areas.

- Practice social distancing as much as possible
Visiting a Loved One
- Family members and visitors are welcome 24 hours a day according to patient preference and patient care needs.
- The number of family members or visitors is limited to one person overnight.
- All visitors who arrive at the hospital between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. must enter via the Emergency Entrance or Main South Entrance only; all other perimeter doors will be locked.
- The number of people welcomed at the bedside at any one time will be determined in collaboration with the patient, family and the Interprofessional Care Team. In situations where there are semi-private rooms, the Interprofessional Care Team will take into consideration the needs of the other patient and his or her family and balance the needs of both patients.
- NO eating or drinking in patient rooms.
Infection Prevention and Control Considerations
- Family and visitors who are feeling unwell, have an infection, have symptoms of respiratory illness or flu-like illnesses should not come to the hospital.
- Families and visitors are required to perform hand hygiene with soap and water or alcohol based hand rub upon entering and leaving a patient’s room.
- Family and visitors should follow all additional precautions (proper use of personal protective equipment) as instructed by the nursing staff.
- An Infection Prevention and Control consultation in collaboration with the patient, family and the Interprofessional Care Team is required if the family member requests to spend the night with a patient on additional precautions.
