Support your loved one in their recovery
Having a loved one in the hospital can be just as emotional and stressful for family and friends as it can be for the patient. We encourage the family and friends of our patients to come and visit them in the hospital because you are an important part of their recovery.
In this section, you will find general information to help prepare you for your experience as a family member or friend of a hospital patient.
