Quiet Rooms for visiting families

• On the second and third floors in the Assiniboine Centre.
• Outside the entrance to ICU on the 4th floor, General Centre (for families of patients in the Intensive Care Unit).

Other Guidelines:
* Only two people at a time are allowed to visit; the rooms become noisy and crowded if there are too many visitors.
* Visits should be kept short to prevent the patient from becoming too tired.
* Small children must be supervised by an adult.

The Brandon RHA is a Scent Free and Smoke Free Environment!

Strong scents in the air can trigger asthma attacks, allergies and other medical conditions.

• Do not wear scented products (aftershaves, perfumes, lotions) to work or to visit. 
• Choose flower arrangements that have little or no scent.
• Bring only foil type balloons, because of latex allergies.
• Do not smoke in any Brandon RHA buildings or on the grounds. 

Thank you for making our patients stay
more comfortable!

Ways to Prevent the Spread of Infection:

• Do not visit the hospital if you have a cold, "the flu", vomiting or diarrhea or an infectious illness such as chickenpox, scabies, impetigo or lice.
• Do not sit on a patient's bed. 
• Discard all used tissues immediately into a garbage container.
