Last year Eastern Health implemented new guidelines for people in hospital to ensure confidentiality. This means that I am NOT notified when a parishioner of St. John the Evangelist has been admitted unless they or a family member complete the form provided at time of admittance and request their clergy member to be notified.
It appears that people are not following this guideline and I am NOT aware of any person(s) of our parish that has/have been admitted to hospital. If the request is not made and I am not informed - I can not visit your loved one in hospital.
Please see the notice below that was issued by Eastern Health in March 2011.

HOSPITAL CHAPLAINCY
The Protection of Health Information Act (PHIA) will be implemented in Newfoundland and Labrador in March 2011. This Act requires consent for the collection and distribution of all personal health information in hospitals and long-term care facilities. You will likely notice some changes in the questions asked when you are being registered or admitted for health care services. If you are admitted to the hospital and would like to be visited by the Anglican chaplain, please be sure to identify your religion when you are admitted or registered. The chaplains can pass on a message to your parish clergy if you specifically ask them to do so, or better still have someone in your family call your clergy or the church office. Only with your consent can notification of your hospitalization or other health information be shared with others, including your parish clergy.
