If you have had a cold or gastro-intestinal bug within the last 3-4 days, you are asked to stay at home and refrain from visiting patients for their protection.  Please follow the hand hygiene instructions when entering the hospital and a patient room.  Children are the responsibility of the visitor not the Nurses on the unit. Remember, children become bored very quickly. It's much better to have the child send their get well message with the designated visitor.

Floral arrangements or fruit baskets may not be appropriate for certain patients. It is often appropriate to check with the nursing unit first. If you visit when the Physician or other healthcare professionals are with the patient, please excuse yourself.
