Visiting Guidelines

We welcome visitors; they are an important part of our patients' recovery. However, to ensure patients receive adequate rest, visiting regulations and hours are observed in all areas.

  • Only two visitors per patient are permitted at the same time
  • Please protect our patients by not exposing them to contagious illnesses such as cold and flu
  • Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the medical center
  • Children must not be left unattended. Hospitals are often frightening or upsetting to children. We recommend that children visiting patients be at least 12 years old
  • Please follow the nurse's instructions if the patient you are visiting is in "isolation"
  • If you have special needs regarding visitors or visiting hours, please inform your nurse. We will do our best to accommodate them
