Visiting Hours and Policies

Visiting hours are established to provide a reasonable opportunity for patients to visit with family and friends while maintaining a normal level of patient care.

Number of Visitors

In the interest of the patient's welfare, visitors will be limited to a reasonable number at a given time.

Food and Beverages

Visitors may not bring food or beverages to patients without authorization from unit physicians or nurses.

Children Under 12 Years of Age

Children under 12 may not visit inpatients. Unless otherwise specified by a physician or charge nurse, inpatients may visit with younger children in the waiting rooms provided by the elevator lobbies.

In extreme circumstances, children under 12 may visit with the permission of the physician and the charge nurse. An adult must accompany children at all times.

Clergy

Members of the clergy are welcome to visit patients who are members of their particular religious group at any time at the discretion of the unit physicians or nurses.

Exceptions

For the health and well-being of a patient, the attending physician may limit, restrict, or deny visitation. We apologize for any inconvenience when this occurs, and appreciate your understanding that it may be medically necessary.
