Visiting Hours
We know that visits by family members, friends and clergy are an important part of the healing process for our patients. Visiting Hours are 9 am - 9 pm. Only two visitors per patient are allowed to visit at one time. Children under 12 years of age are not permitted to visit unless there are extenuating circumstances. A Visitor Pass, issued at the Information Desk, must be worn at all times while in the hospital.
We have specific guidelines about visitation to ensure our patients' well being and safety.
General guidelines for all visitors (PDF)
These guidelines provide details about visitor passes, visiting hours,
number of visitors, visitor etiquette, and services available for
visitors.
Guidelines for children who are allowed to visit (PDF)
Children under 12 years of age are not permitted to visit unless there
are extenuating circumstances. There are safety and security issues
for young children in the hospital. If approved for a patient visit
children are screened for health concerns and issued an Orange Visitor
Pass. Children must be supervised by an accompanying adult at all
times.
Guidelines for visitors staying after 9 p.m. or staying at the bedside
Unit staff complete an after hours BLUE Visitor Registration Card for
all visits after 9 pm and for visitors staying at the bedside. After 7
pm the visitor brings the Blue Card to the Emergency Room Information
Desk to register. This helps us know who is in the hospital after
hours.
