Family Communication
We know it is important for you to receive regular updates on the status of your loved one. We have set up the following dedicated hours – between 1 and 5 p.m., 7 days a week - where authorized family and friends can reach our clinical staff to receive a status update on your loved one. Zoom calls are also available upon request. To ensure our clinical teams can give you their full attention, we ask that one representative from your family call for updates.
