Patient & Family

Patient and Family-Centred Care

Patient & Family-Centred Care is a philosophy where patients and their families are partners in the planning and decision-making for their care and treatment. Relationships are formed between patients and their health care providers based on trust and respect for maintaining dignity and recognition of the patients’ and families’ preferences and values. 

Patient & Family-Centred Care also acknowledges that emotional, social, physical and developmental needs are important to the health and well being of the patient and family.

We hope that during your stay we satisfy your needs and those of your family members.
