Tips Before Visiting Andrews Memorial Hospital
Whether you’re heading to the emergency room at midnight or scheduling a dental appointment at AMH, a bit of preparation goes a long way. Here’s what to know before you visit.
- → Call ahead for outpatient visits. The A&E is always open, but the outpatient clinic and dental centre operate on weekday hours. Call (876) 926-7401 to confirm your department’s hours before travelling.
- ✓ Bring your insurance card. AMH accepts all major local and international health insurance cards. Having your card on hand speeds up the admissions process considerably.
- ✓ The pharmacy closes Saturdays. Plan your prescription pickups for Monday through Friday (until 10 pm) or Sunday (9:30 am to 3:30 pm). Saturday pharmacy access is not available at AMH.
- ! Consultant fees are separate. AMH grants admitting privileges to private consultants who bill patients separately. Ask your specialist upfront about their fees — these are independent of your hospital bill.
- ✓ Parking is available on-site. Secured parking is on the hospital grounds, which helps given Hope Road can be busy during peak hours.
- → Check public holiday schedules. While A&E never closes, department hours around public holidays can vary. Always confirm in advance.
