MATERNITY THEME ROOMS
With the support from the corporate community, and the Grey Nuns and Misericordia Community Hospitals, we have been able to design, create and implement this concept of maternity theme rooms in a hospital setting. Availability of Theme Rooms at the Grey Nuns and Misericordia are on a first come, first serve basis. Mothers can discuss opportunities to stay in a theme room with the obstetrical nursing staff upon their arrival.

Vintage Suite at the Grey Nuns

See Theme Room Brochure.pdf for further information
