Visiting Information

Support of family and friends is important to health and healing. Family members and friends are welcome to visit during general visiting hours. However, the health and well being of all our patients is our primary concern. Please check with the patient's nurse to determine the visiting times that best promote rest and healing. If any family member or friend has a cold, flu, runny nose, cough, fever, diarrhea, rash or a contagious disease, we ask that they refrain from visiting. Visitors under 12 years of age must be in the company of a responsible adult.

Under special circumstances or extended stays a patient's pet may be allowed to visit during their hospital stay. Visits must be arranged in advance. Please discuss your request with the patient's nurse prior to the pet's visit.

General Visiting Hours:
11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.*
