Life Orthopaedic Hospital Visiting Hours

Life Orthopaedic does not publish general visiting times. It is a 36-bed super-specialised orthopaedic hospital on the Life Vincent Pallotti site in Pinelands, and because almost every patient is recovering from joint, spine or hand surgery, the wards work around physiotherapy and mobilisation rather than a fixed timetable. Phone 021 506 5111 and ask for the ward. The Pallottine Sisters remain involved at the hospital and can offer spiritual counselling if you would like it.
