Phones
A phone is located beside each patient bed (exceptions apply on some patient care units).

Before you are discharged, please inform your relatives and friends when you are being discharged so the next patient does not receive your calls.

Pay phones are also located on every level and in the East and West Building lobbies.

Every patient has the ability to call for assistance whenever necessary. Your nurse will explain how the Nurse Call System works when you are admitted to your room. Patients also have the ability to call for assistance from all washrooms located on patient care units.
