Niagara Health expanding visitor guidelines

Today, Niagara Health is expanding visitor and support person presence.
Inpatient units can have up to two visitors at a patient’s bedside during visiting hours (11 a.m. to 8 p.m.).
All patients can now bring one support person with them for outpatient clinics and appointments.
Up to two people at a patient’s bedside at a time are allowed for childbirths.
Two parents and/or caregivers can be designated visitors and can visit anytime in the neonatal ICU.
Faith community leaders who are registered with Niagara Health can visit 24/7 with all their congregants and/or parishioners who are in the hospital.
