Mercy San Juan Medical Center does not maintain official “visiting hours” for the entire hospital; in fact, we encourage loved ones to visit as often as possible to help with healing and recovery. Nearly all of our units allow loved ones to visit at any time of day; however, some of our units maintain preferred visiting times and have unit-specific visitation policies. Please check with the unit you are visiting to determine the best time for your visit.

A photo ID is mandatory for any visitor in the hospital after 9 p.m. and is required at all times for visitors in the Family Birth Center.

  • Visiting hours are 9 am to 9 pm. The number of visitors per patient may vary based on the patient's clinical condition and the care setting.
  • We will ask patients to identify a support person.
