The Family Hub

About The Family Hub

  • Need somewhere to relax, make a cup of tea, feed your baby, catch up on emails, seek information or find activities for the kids?

    Head to The Family Hub on the ground floor of the North building, behind Degani café.

    The Hub is a home away from home for families and visitors to the hospital, providing a supportive, non-clinical space with friendly and extremely knowledgeable volunteers and staff on hand to assist with any queries or to provide practical support and assistance.
