Parking during ongoing construction
We are committed to ensuring minimal disruption during ongoing construction on our campus.
Do not park in designated construction zones. Certain areas have been temporarily blocked off for construction, as indicated above.
The parkade is only accessible via the Gilbert Rd entrance. See the entry point in the image above.
Paid parking remains in effect.
Continue to park in areas clearly designated for patient parking, including our parkade. These spaces are reserved to ensure you have easy access to the hospital.
Words of encouragement or well wishes are important in keeping spirits up. A number of Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) hospitals offer a volunteer-run well wishes program that lets you send messages by email to friends or family during their hospital stay.
How to send by email
-
Check that you have all the information you need
You must include the following patient details so your well wishes are delivered to the right person:
- Patient’s first and last name
- Room number, unit or location - If you do not have the patient's room number or location, you will need to call the hospital the patient is in and ask for the room number and location details. If the patient is in the Intensive Care Unit, it may limit or not allow items from the outside to be brought in. If the patient is in the ICU, ask to be connected to that unit to ask if your email would be allowed before sending it.
