Staying connected to family and friends can support health and healing. If you cannot visit your loved ones in person, talk on the phone or use a video chat app. You can also use these to visit with them more often.
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. The care team can see if this service is suitable for the situation.
Zoom for Healthcare enables video calls for other patients who do not have a personal mobile 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 you still have difficulty after reviewing the instructions above, contact the Nurse on the unit where your friend or loved one is. Ask them for assistance.
