Visiting a Patient

South Bruce Grey Health Centre encourages the support of family and friends for patients during a hospital stay. Patients, families and other partners in care are respected as essential members of the health care team, helping to ensure quality and safety.

Our visiting guidelines aim to balance the needs of our patients and families and the responsibilities of our health care teams to provide timely and appropriate care.

For Acute Care and the Family Birthing Centre, we request that patients have a maximum of two visitors at one time.

For palliative care, please consult with the clinical team for additional visiting options for compassionate reasons.

Please do not visit if you have a cold, fever or feel unwell.
