We offer many services for both patients and visitors, to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Visitors have always been more than just a “visitor.” They have been our partners in patient care. Research supports the value of having a loved one at the bedside for recovery and for safety. More importantly, a loved one at the bedside is simply the right thing to offer. We are grateful that the guidelines issued nationally and locally support our ability to make these visitation changes.

There are times when staying the night is beneficial for our patients, visitors, and caregivers. Overnight visitation is possible only when a sleeper chair is available and in coordination with the unit leader and the House Supervisor. [Minors, 16 years and younger, are not permitted to stay overnight]
Isolation Patient Visitation is the same as it is for all other patients except that there must be PPE resources available as well as availability of a staff member to help with appropriately putting on and removing PPE.
For all inpatient visitation exceptions, please coordinate with the unit Director/Manager and the House Supervisor.
For all Emergency Department visitation exceptions, please contact the Nurse Shift Manager or Charge Nurse.
Los visitantes siempre han sido más que un simple “visitante.” Han sido nuestros socios en el cuidado de los pacientes. Los estudios de investigación respaldan el valor que representa para la recuperación y la seguridad del paciente el tener a un ser querido acompañándolo en la habitación. Aún más importante, el ofrecer que un ser querido se encuentre en la habitación es sencillamente justo. Agradecemos que las pautas emitidas a nivel nacional y local respalden nuestras prácticas de visitas.
En algunos casos, pasar la noche puede convenirles a nuestros pacientes, a sus visitantes y a sus cuidadores. Solo será posible pasar la noche con el paciente cuando se cuente con un sillón cama disponible y con el permiso del encargado de la unidad y de la supervisora de enfermería del hospital. A los visitantes menores de 17 años no se les permite pasar la noche.
Las reglas de visita de los pacientes en aislamiento son las mismas que para todos los demás, excepto que debe haber en existencia equipo de protección personal (PPE, en inglés), así como la disponibilidad de un miembro del personal para ayudar a poner y quitar el PPE de manera adecuada.
En casos de pacientes internos, es necesario obtener el permiso del director o gerente de la unidad y de la Supervisora de Enfermería de todo el hospital para que se pueda hacer una excepción a nuestras normas de visitas.
Favor de comunicarse con el Gerente de Enfermería que esté de turno o con la enfermera/o a cargo para averiguar todas las excepciones de visitas en el Departamento de Emergencias.
