Safety in our nurseries is important to us. To ensure the security of families and babies, the following measures are in place:

• Parents are always welcome to be with their babies. All visitors are to be accompanied by at least one parent at the bedside. See more in What to Expect.
• Parents are to use the telephone at the entrance to the NICU to announce their arrival. In the Level 2 Nursery, parents can simply walk in. Visitors are welcome accompanied by a parent.
• There is a ward clerk in each nursing station during the day and evening hours.
• Parents and visitors are reminded to keep valuables at home. There are a few lockers available in each nursery for your use. Please bring your own lock.
• Parents and visitors are asked to follow directions regarding infection control and prevention. This could include answering questions about your health and the health of each visitor, careful hand washing when entering and leaving the nurseries, and any other precautions that are in place.
• Security personnel frequently patrol the 7th floor and surveillance equipment is installed throughout the Hospital.
