Visiting Hours

For all patients hospital wide

• Each patient may select a patient care companion who is not considered a visitor. The patient care companion may have 24/7 access to the patient.

General visitation guidelines

• Visiting hours are 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. (except for critical care units)
• Patient visitation is limited to two visitors per patient excluding the patient care companion
• Recommended visitation time is 30 minutes or less
• Due to the risk of disease transmission to both the patient and the child, it is recommended that children younger than 3 years old not visit any inpatient area except for the Birthing Center
• Children must have a reason to visit the patient. For example, the young visitor is the child, grandchild or sibling of the patient.
• Healthy, well-behaved children over 3 may visit with adult supervision

Birthing Center

• Four visitors, excluding the patient care companion, are allowed
• Children under 12 may visit if they are healthy, well-behaved and related to the patient (child, grandchild or sibling). Children must be supervised by an adult other than the patient.
• During "serenity time" from 2 – 4 p.m. daily, visitation is restricted to the patient care companion to allow for patient rest and bonding with the newborn

Critical care (intensive care units)

• Visitors to the critical care units are restricted to the following times:
  • 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
  • 3 – 5 p.m.
  • 8 – 9:30 p.m.
• Visitation is restricted to only the patient care companion during shift change from 6:30 – 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
