Feeling under the weather? If you have a cough, fever, flu symptoms, or are ill with diarrhea and/or vomiting, we ask that you do not visit friends or relatives until you are well. Thank you for helping stop the spread of germs to our staff and patients.
Please be aware: Several units at Victoria General Hospital and Royal Jubilee Hospital have the same name because they are named for their floor and geographic designation (for example, 6 South). While we work on clarifying these names, make sure you know which hospital to visit.
