Visitor policy
Familiar faces play a vital role in the healing process. We gladly welcome you and your loved ones to visit our hospital, and have an onsite meditation room available for all visitors.
For patient health and visitor safety, we have some restrictions for visits. In these circumstances, a nurse will inform the patient as soon as possible:
- Visitors are ill.
- Patients require rest.
- A procedure requires privacy.
- Child visitors don’t have adult supervision.
Only two may visit our crucial care and emergency departments at a time.
