Special requests can be made to the charge nurse. Please limit the number of visitors at any one time for the comfort of yourself and your roommate.

Anyone who has an infectious illness (such as a respiratory infection, tuberculosis, German measles, chicken pox, or a skin infection) must not visit the hospital.

Please ask your family and friends to respect these visiting hours as you need quiet time to recover from birth and begin to learn about your baby.

For patients on our specialized care wards such as Evergreen (antepartum) or FIR (harm reduction/substance use), contact the hospital operator at 604 875-2424 to connect with the ward for individual visiting hours.
