Patients & Visitors' Guide

Information for Visitors

We understand that being able to visit a patient who may be your family member or friend is important to you. To keep you, our patients, and staff safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, please review our updated visitor guidelines below (updated June 15, 2020).

Inpatient Visitors

Our visiting hours are 11 AM – 8 PM.

Please note, patients who are on precautions may not have visitors at this time.

Patients not on precautions, are limited to one visitor at a time. We ask patients and families to please coordinate visits.

All visitors should check in with the front desk and will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms. Visitors must arrive and be screened by 7 PM.

Once screened, visitors will be given a visitor sticker, which should be worn and visible throughout your visit while in the hospital.

Visitors will then be directed to the inpatient area where they should also check in at the nurses’ station.

Visitors are required to wear a mask at all times and maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet.

Visitors must clean and sanitize their hands before entering and exiting a patient room.

Visitors are required to remain in the patient’s room during their visit. We strongly discourage eating/drinking while visiting with patients.

If you are waiting to visit or escort a patient, please wait outside the hospital as visitor waiting areas are currently closed.

Outpatient Visitors

Due to limited space, only essential medical or emotional support escorts are allowed with outpatients at this time.

Exclusions:

Patients who are on precautions may not have visitors at this time.

No visitors under the age of 18 are allowed unless the visitor is a child of a patient, in which case they must be over 12 years of age.

No visitors in Labor & Delivery, Special Care Nursery, and Pre-Operative areas.

Please note, some limited exceptions to the above exclusions may be made based on individual and family situations. Please coordinate with the nurse caring for the patient.

Therefore, we have designed this Patients & Visitors' Guide to provide you with information to answer your questions. It has a section on patients' rights and responsibilities, information on health care proxies, insurance information, visiting hours and much more.
