Visiting Guidelines

A person suffering from burns is highly susceptible to infection, sometimes even more so than others. You're invited to visit during certain hours.

We invite family and friends to visit between 11 a.m. - 8:30 p.m., and to adhere to the instructions below in order to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

Fire Safety And Prevention

Nearly 50 percent of house fires are reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. making smoke alarms one of the most important safety devices in your home. If a fire starts in your home you may have only two – three minutes to escape. Protect yourself, your loved ones, and your home by identifying and removing fire hazards and keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen.
