Your Safety Is Our Priority

Visitor Guidelines 

To keep our vulnerable patients and healthcare workers safe, visitor restrictions are still in place. If you have any questions, please call 613-774-2420 and ask to be connected with the Patient Unit or Department.

Masking for patients and visitors is optional at WDMH, but it is strongly recommended in all clinical areas of the hospital including the Emergency Department and patient rooms. Masks are available at the entrances and in clinical areas. Anyone who feels unwell or is symptomatic should wear a mask to limit transmission. Please do not come to the hospital to visit patients if you are sick.
