BHB resumes pre-COVID visiting hours

Friday 17 November 2023: Bermuda Hospitals Board has resumed its pre-Covid visiting hours which are slightly longer on most units.

“Visiting hours on our Inpatient Medical-Surgical Units at KEMH have returned to 11am to 8pm allowing family and friends more time with their loved ones,” said BHB Chief of Nursing Judy Richardson. “We recognise how impactful every visitation minute is to both our patients and their friends and families, particularly in the holiday season when loneliness is often felt more strongly.”

Visiting hours for all units at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and the Mid-Atlantic Wellness Institute are available on the BHB website bermudahospitals.bm and are listed below. General in-patient inquiries are also available by visiting or calling the KEMH main reception desk on 239-2001 or the MWI main reception desk on 236-3770.
