Visiting Hours
We believe visitors are good therapy and encourage your family and friends to visit you as often as possible unless otherwise indicated by your physician. At the same time, we ask that visitors respect a patient’s need for rest and privacy. Any person with or exposed to a communicable disease (cold, runny nose, fever, flu, and diarrhea) should not visit the hospital. Please discuss visitation and the number of visitors with your nurse. Because many of the rooms are semi-private, we ask that visitors be sensitive to the roommate’s need for rest and quiet.
Children must be over 12 years old to visit. All units have open visiting hours, except as noted below:
Maternity
Mother/Baby Unit: To allow for proper rest and bonding we recommend visitation only until 8 p.m. Siblings of the newborn may visit with adult supervision. The father or other support person may visit at any time.
Labor and Delivery: We encourage the patient to discuss her plans with the nurse when she arrives at the hospital. Based on her needs and condition our staff will work to accommodate her requests. To support the family, the first hour after birth is reserved for the new parents to bond with their child.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU): Please contact the staff.
