Visitors are welcomed guests in our hospital. Our visiting hours are from 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Observance of our visiting hours helps us best fulfill our commitment to provide the high quality service to you and our other patients. As part of the patient's overall therapy, the doctor may suggest certain guidelines that are more restrictive than the ones listed below. Please observe the following requests when visiting a patient:

Only two visitors should be in the room at one time. Visitors should leave the room promptly when treatment is to be given, or when asked to leave by hospital staff or the physician.
Visitors and patients are requested to speak quietly and to be considerate of other patients.
Visitors should not enter a patient room when a "No Visitors" or "Isolation" sign is on the door.
All facility entrances, except the Emergency Department entrance, are locked between the approximate hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
A family member remaining overnight must obtain a visitor pass from security personnel, located in the corridor between the Emergency and Radiology departments. This is to ensure the safety of our patients, employees and other visitors.
Please ask the patient's nurse for specific visiting times. To assure their safety, small children must be attended by a responsible adult while on hospital premises and grounds.
