Visiting Hours And Guidelines:
- General Visiting Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Nursing staff may customize an individual patient’s visiting hours based on the patient’s needs. Additional guidelines apply to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and the Critical Care Unit (CCU).
- Two guests in addition to the designated Care Partner may visit at one time. Additional guests are asked to wait in the guest waiting area on the floor you are visiting. Guests may take turns to provide visitation for all.
- Special visiting hours apply to specific units, including CCU, Labor & Delivery and NICU; please ask nursing staff or representatives at the Information Desk.
