Patients visiting Niagara Health Emergency Departments and Urgent Care Centres can have one caregiver/visitor accompany them for support.
As Emergency Departments and Urgent Care Centres often see a high number of patients, visiting may be restricted at times, if physical distancing cannot be maintained.
Patients coming for clinic visits and other outpatient services are still asked to come alone. This includes Diagnostic Imaging (e.g. X-rays, CT scans, etc.), the Walker Family Cancer Centre and Dialysis Units. Patients with extenuating circumstances are encouraged to contact their care provider directly before coming to the hospital to discuss their needs.
