We appreciate the important role family, care partners and loved ones play in the healing process of our patients. It is important to us and we encourage you to participate in your loved ones care during their hospital stay.

To help prevent the transition of any infectious disease, if you are sick or have symptoms such as fever, cough, or runny nose, please consider visiting at another time and wearing a mask to protect those around you.  

Visitors need to obtain photo access passes from Security at the Information Desk. This access pass must be visibly worn above the waist during whenever on campus.

Visiting Hours:

General hours of visitation are from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Exceptions to this timeframe may vary depending on the patient's condition and specialty area.

Additional guidelines to follow to help us promote a healing and restful environment for all our patients:

• 2 visitors will be permitted in the room at one time. Other visitors are welcome to remain in the visitor waiting areas or Lobby until they are able to visit.
• Overnight stay for one family member or care partner is permitted.
• The family/care partners of pre-surgery patients may visit as early as they wish on the morning of surgery.
• Please be mindful of the length of your visit to allow time for rest and healing. Also keep in mind that others may want to visit your loved one.  
• Children are allowed to visit in most patient care areas with the exception of the areas outlined below. For their safety and the safety of all our patients, we highly encourage parents of young children to be mindful of the hospital environment and patients conditions prior to bringing them to the hospital. Children who are not feeling well, should stay home.

Patient Care areas where Age Restriction for Visitation applies:

Wash Your Hands. Be sure to wash or sanitize your hands before and after visiting your loved one. Proper hand hygiene is the best way to reduce the spread of germs.
