Visitor information

Our visitation policy allows us to provide a safe environment, high-quality care, and positive experiences when and where our patients need us. Support of family and friends is very important to health and healing. Family members and friends are welcome. However, the health and well-being of all our patients is our primary concern. We ask that family and friends be mindful of the following guidelines:

Special policies apply for intensive care and other select units. Please check with the specific unit or the information desk.

  • If any family member or friend has a cold, flu, runny nose, cough, fever, diarrhea, rash or contagious disease, please ask that person not to visit.
  • Children must be supervised by an adult (18 years or older and not the patient) at all times during the visit.
  • Noise levels should be kept to a minimum in order to promote health and healing and as a courtesy to others.
  • Under special circumstances or in the case of extended stays, a patient’s pet may be allowed to visit during his or her hospital stay. Visits must be arranged in advance. Please discuss your request with the patient’s nurse prior to the pet’s visit.
