Visiting Hours & Policies

While you are in the hospital, family and friends may be anxious to visit you. We will try to accommodate them but urge you and your visitors to keep in mind that while you are here, you may need a great deal of rest to help you recuperate. It is hospital policy that only two visitors be with you at any one time. We also ask that you and your visitors respect the needs and wishes of other patients who are sharing your room.

All visitors must be 16 years of age or older and must obtain a visitor pass at the security desk in the main lobby. It is hospital policy that children cannot be left alone in the lobby; an adult must be in attendance at all times.

Immediate family members of critically ill patients may visit at any time. However, visiting privileges may be restricted if there are too many visitors, or if in the physician's judgment, it will not benefit the patient.
