The Pink Cafe at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital will close at the end of the week for major refurbishment work to be completed.

The café will shut on Friday and the project is expected to completed in March.

“We are very excited about our refurbishment,” Liz Titterton, the Hospitals Auxiliary of Bermuda president said.

“We will be incorporating the space previously used by the gift shop in the general wing, which has been empty since the shop moved to the Acute Care Wing in September 2014.

“This has given us the opportunity to improve the experience for customers and we look forward to opening again next month.”

The HAB gift shop in the Acute Care Wing lobby will be open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm and will continue to sell tea and coffee and snacks.

There are 24/7 vending machines available in the Emergency Department in the Acute Care Wing and on the first floor of the General Wing in the KEMH Cafeteria, selling cold drinks and snacks.

The KEMH Cafeteria is open between 7am and 11am, 12pm and 2pm and 5pm to 7pm on Monday to Friday.
