First Nations Tele-Visitation

"When visitor restrictions due to Flu outbreaks are in place you may be unable to enter the hospital to visit in person. Whatever the reason you can't be there, Tele visits can help you stay connected while your family member is in hospital."

Family visits between in-patients and their family members can be arranged with a Tele-visit Site in your community
