Visiting Hours

Patient care is our primary concern and, in order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours and regulations have been established for each unit.

Preferred visiting hours are from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. on all Medical/Surgical units. Each patient is limited to two (2) visitors at one time. However, adult accompanied siblings may visit on postpartum and pediatric units. Visitors in semi-private rooms should be considerate of both patients.

In order to maintain a restful environment for the patient and allow for nursing care, visiting hours in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) are limited to 5-10 minutes per hour. Children under 12 are generally not permitted, per hospital policy, in the ICU. Children under 13 are generally not permitted in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU).

Nursing staff may use discretion to alter these restrictions as warranted by patient condition. Visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient.
