- Sign up for MyChart
MyChart is a free, secure website and mobile application you can use to access your information from your medical records. You can also view and manage certain information about your health.
Using MyChart during and after your pregnancy will give you access to the following:
- Maternal Health Questionnaire.
- Self-schedule support groups.
- Upcoming appointments.
- Test results.
- Your newborn’s documents, including the Proof of Birth letter.
- Proxy Consent Form.
If your partner signs up for MyChart, they too can have access to your baby’s health information.
Car seats
You must use a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved infant car seat for your baby when you take them home. It is the law.
You will be asked to have the nurse check your infant’s positioning in the car seat prior to discharge.
Lost an item?
The hospital is not responsible for your belongings. However, lost items are usually turned in to the Protective Services office. If you have lost something, please talk to a member of your patient care team, or call Protective Services at 613-761-4888.
