family waiting room

Finally, they left the coffee shop and returned to the family waiting room to await word of Lauren's surgery.

He had arrived at the family waiting room at seven that morning, knowing the day began early in the OR.

Recently completed are two family waiting rooms in intensive care units, a lounge in a cardiac unit, an atrium and the morgue waiting room.

Lobbies, surgical waiting rooms and cafeterias could be ready much sooner, and family waiting rooms on many floors already have Internet kiosks.

He is 28 now, with three toddler sons, who were happily playing floor hockey with plastic sticks outside the family waiting room before the game, wearing their father's jersey.

In another era, I would have paced in the family waiting room with my address book and a bag of quarters to pass on hospital news to friends and relatives.
