Staying in the hospital

Patient instructions

Your health care team will explain why you’re in the hospital and what needs to happen before you can go home or to another facility. Learn more about important information you need to know for your hospital stay.

Visiting the hospital

Stay home if you aren't feeling well. We want to give our patients every chance to get well. Please do not visit the hospital if you are feeling unwell (for example, if you have a cold or the flu) or have been near someone else who is sick. It is important to wash your hands or use available alcohol-based liquid/foam hand sanitizers before and after visiting a loved one in the hospital or clinic.

Visiting hours

Please check in with the unit before visiting to determine the best time for your visit and what you should do when you arrive.

Facility overview

The new Fort St. James Hospital and Health Centre welcomed its first patients on January 14, 2025. It is more than three times the size of the previous hospital and brings multiple health services under one roof. The new facility has improved the healing environment and provides culturally safe care for residents of Fort St. James, surrounding areas, and local Indigenous communities.
