Preparing for Your Admission

General Information

Environmental Sensitivity

The Alexandra Marine and General Hospital will provide measures for the protection of patients, medical / dental / midwifery staff, staff, volunteers and visitors regarding environmental sensitivity exposure. In recognition for the potential risk to sensitive individuals, it is necessary to evaluate, eliminate or minimize such exposure. The procedure for dealing with individuals with environmental sensitivity will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

  • Wearing perfume or perfumed products should be kept to a minimum
  • Latex balloons are not permitted within the Hospital. Balloons manufactured from alternative materials (i.e., Mylar) are acceptable
  • Please refrain from bringing strong smelling flowers into the Hospital
  • Smoking is not permitted on Hospital property.
