Darlene Williams Room
Closed due to COVID-19 restrictions
The Darlene Williams Room is named after a former patient who passed away at Victoria Hospital in 2006 following a two month hospitalization, during which family visits always took place at her bedside in a room that had minimal space and lacked comfortable seating.
The Darlene Williams Comfort Room addresses this problem by providing a comfortable environment for the patient, family and friends. It allows for visits in an environment where families can watch a movie, play a game and have a home cooked meal together.
The room can be booked daily by contacting:
- Monday to Friday (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) 204-477-3156.
- Evenings (4:00 p.m. to Midnight.) and Weekends (8:00 a.m. to Midnight) at pager number 204-932-1086.
The room may be booked in two hour time blocks.
Please ensure that the room is left clean and tidy for the next family.
