Question:

What other guidelines should visitors know about?

Answer:

  • Only two visitors at a time are permitted for each patient. When more than two visitors are here we ask that they take turns, using the visitor’s lounge, outdoor patio or main lobby between visits. A visiting brother or sister must be accompanied by one parent/guardian.
  • Sibling visitors under age 14 must wear a visitor’s pass at all times. Passes are available at the front lobby desk and are valid for one visit.
  • Our patients are more vulnerable to infections, so visitors with a cold, flu, vomiting, diarrhea, pink eye, fever, rashes, fifth disease, head lice, chicken pox or other infection should wait until their condition has improved before visiting.
  • Parents/guardians are not to leave the inpatient area of the hospital without first notifying a nurse.
  • Visitors who are disorderly or who do not observe hospital regulations will be escorted from the hospital by a security guard and refused subsequent visiting privileges.
  • Alcoholic beverages, weapons or illegal drugs are not permitted in any area of the hospital. Any visitor who brings these items to the hospital will be escorted out by a security guard and may be refused subsequent visiting privileges.
