Tips Before You Go

• Mission Memorial Hospital is a community-level facility — for life-threatening emergencies such as stroke, major trauma, or cardiac surgery, paramedics may route you to a larger Fraser Health regional centre.
• The hospital uses open visiting hours, so family members can accompany patients at any time, which can be reassuring for those with anxiety or who need a support person during their visit.
• If you need to send a message to an admitted patient, use the volunteer mail service by emailing YouveGotMail.MMH@fraserhealth.ca with the patient's full name, unit, and room number.
• If you are scent-sensitive or have respiratory concerns, note that the hospital is a scent-free environment — visitors and staff are asked to avoid perfumes, colognes, and scented flowers.
• BC Transit routes 32 and 39 serve the Hurd Street area, and the West Coast Express connects Mission to the Lower Mainland — plan your return trip in advance, especially for evening visits.
