Staying connected to family and friends can support health and healing. If you cannot visit your loved one in person, or if you want to visit with them more often, we suggest talking on the phone or using a video chat app.
For inpatients who do not have access to a personal device, we can connect you with your loved ones via a service that uses Zoom videoconferencing.
We encourage patients staying within our facilities to speak with their health care team to see if this service is suitable for their situation.
Zoom for Healthcare enables video calls for other patients who are impacted by our current visitor restrictions and do not have a personal device.
If you have been contacted by your loved one’s health care team asking if you would like to connect via Zoom for Healthcare, refer to our instructions below for how to participate. Be sure to choose the correct version based on the type of device you will be using.
If after reviewing the instructions above you are still having difficulty, contact the Nurse on the unit where your friend or loved one is and ask them for assistance.
