Visiting Hours
Each nursing unit determines their own visiting hours. Please check with your nurses about their visiting guidelines. If you’re not able to stop by to see your loved one in person, you can use a Patient Privacy Code to access information about your family member or friend. Nurses can authorize parents or guardians to call for health updates on their child.
Visitor Check-In
To protect the security and privacy of patients, we require that all campus visitors check in daily at one of the two information desks (located at the main hospital entrance and in the hospital atrium). All visitors, age 16 and older, will need to present photo identification, and our Guest Services team member will issue a badge to the unit you’re visiting.
Restrictions and Guidelines
While visitors play a vital role in the recovery of our patients, we ask that you do not visit if you currently have or have been around anyone with:
- Cold or Flu
- Chicken Pox
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- German Measles
- Hepatitis
- Measles
- Mumps
- Skin Rash
- Strep Throat
- Vomiting
Please also keep all patients’ safety in mind when visiting by practicing thorough handwashing. There are hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the hospital for your convenience.
