Visitor Information

Visiting Etiquette  
Your visit to the hospital can have a dramatic effect on a patient's well-being. To make the visit beneficial, we suggest -
No more than two visitors at a time
Carry on a cheerful conversation in a soft voice. Don't expect the patient to do a lot of talking.
Plan on spending just a short time visiting. Although the visit is almost always welcome, it can be very tiring for the patient.
If a patient is in consultation or in need of treatment, please step out of the room.
If you are feeling unwell or have even a slight cough or sneeze, please do not jeopardize the patient's health by visiting. Consider a phone call or rescheduling your visit.
When visiting, please do not sit on the patient's bed.
If the patient you are visiting is sharing a room, please be mindful of the other patient's privacy and need for quiet.
