Telephones are provided in each patient room, except in the special care unit. Patients may place calls at any time and may receive calls in their rooms from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Each room’s phone number is displayed on its respective telephone.
Because of the potential risk to patient equipment, Hamilton Hospital restricts the use of cell phones and other wireless communication devices by patients and visitors to the waiting room areas and outside the building. A pay phone is located in the corridor.
