Visits with family and friends are an important part of a patient's recovery. To provide each patient with privacy in a quiet and restful environment, we ask that you abide by the following guidelines:

Visitors are encouraged to visit between 11:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. If you are unable to visit during this time, please discuss alternative arrangements with a nurse.

No more than two people may visit a patient at one time.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

In cases of medical necessity, (such as for patients who are critically ill, in need of language assistance or those who are children) overnight visitation for one visitor is permitted. In order to meet the visitation and privacy needs of all patients, arrangements for overnight visitation must be made in advance with the Charge Nurse.

We have established these guidelines for the comfort and well-being of all patients. If you have any questions, please ask the nurse.
