Visitor Info

Having family and friends visit while you are in the hospital can be an important part of your recovery process, so we try to be as accommodating as possible with our visitation policy. However, rest is also very important to people who are recovering from illness or surgery, so we ask that you and your visitors observe the guidelines we have established.

Supporting Your Loved One

We believe support from family and friends is a critical component of recovery. Whether your loved one can respond to you or not, you can help keep their spirits up by simply being there. We encourage visits as often as possible and invite you to bring family pictures, letters, and cherished personal items to surround your loved one with positivity.

Information such as visitation policies, parking, and cafeteria hours is included below for your convenience. If you have any questions after reviewing this page, please give us a call!

Hospital Visitation

Visiting hours may vary in some departments. Behavioral Health Unit visiting hours are 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.

We recognize the important role family and loved ones play in the healing process, and we encourage visitors to come when it's best for their loved one. When visiting, we ask:

That you respect patients’ preferences regarding visitation
Limit visits during the time of personal care and sensitive discussions
Accommodate visits to promote an environment that supports safety (this may include following infection control restrictions and protocols), rest, and healing
Wash your hands before and after visiting
Respect patient privacy, including patients other than the one you're visiting
Follow notification guidelines when the department is secured
Respect patient and hospital property and not engage in any disruptive or threatening behavior
Honor restrictions when imposed

All visitors must enter and exit the building through the north lobby entrance near the Emergency Department.
