Dropping off emergency items for your whānau member

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

We understand that it can tough when a member of your whānau is in hospital and you can’t visit.

Our dedicated teams are making sure your loved one is supported and looked after during this challenging time.
If you have emergency items for your whānau member (i.e. urgent medication or prescription glasses), you can drop these off at our coffee cart entrance next to ED between 8am-6pm, and our patient welfare team will arrange for these to be delivered. Please make sure they are in a bag and labelled with your whānau member’s name.

To ensure that we keep our patients and staff safe, we cannot accept food or other non-essential items. Meals, blankets and all other essential needs are provided within the hospital.

Remember that our hospitals have free wifi, so you can stay connected with your loved one if they have a mobile device.

Thanks for helping us keep everyone safe.
