Visiting Hours
General visiting hours are from 7:00 am until 8:30 pm, daily. Patient room numbers are available from the information desk, which is manned from 7:00 am until 9:00 pm. All visitors must obtain a visitors’ pass from the information desk before proceeding to patient care areas. The visiting policy states that visitors should be limited to two at a time. Any visitors who plan to stay with a patient over night must notify their nurse.
We do not encourage the visitation by children under 12; however we realize that in some cases, visitation by children can be beneficial to both parent and child. Children who are visiting a patient must be under the supervision of a parent or guardian at all times. Guests of all ages should be considerate of others in the hospital.
Visiting hours in the special units are available in each unit. Please check with the nurse for visiting times.
