At York Central Hospital, we believe that support from family and friends can
positively infl uence the healing process. Visitors are welcome in accordance
with the wishes of the patient. Please respect the privacy, comfort and care of
all patients on the unit. We may ask visitors to wait in the lounge while patients
receive personal and/or medical care.
Visiting hours vary depending on the unit. If you are visiting a patient and currently
are suffering from a cold, fl u or are feeling unwell, please consider visiting at
another time. Your illness could be transmitted to one of our patients.
