Visitor Access

Victoria Hospital is a mask-friendly facility

General visiting hours are 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Visitors are welcome at the Victoria Hospital, but we ask that the following guidelines be respected for your well-being and that of the other patients:

  • no more than two visitors with a patient at a time
  • physical distancing between patients and visitors is encouraged
  • visitors bringing in food or beverages should speak to a nurse before offering it to the patient
  • if you have a cough, fever, runny nose, diarrhea or another contagious disease, please do not visit.
  • VH promotes a scent-free environment in response to health concerns. Some people have reactions to chemicals in scented products. Your cooperation in our efforts to accommodate them is appreciated.

Please understand that we may need to interrupt a visit to provide care to the patient.

To prevent the spread of infection, general visitation is restricted on units experiencing a respiratory outbreak.  Visitation may be impacted in the case of a confirmed or potential outbreak or upon direction of the Chief Provincial Public Health Officer and is subject to sudden cancellation.
