During posted visiting hours, your family and friends are welcome visitors — in the general hospital we consider them good medicine. However, rest is also an important part of your healing process, so we recommend brief visits and ask that no more than two individuals visit in your room at a time. Visitors should observe general sanitation practices such as hand washing, and will be instructed if special practices are required. People with colds, sore throats or contagious illnesses should not visit, as they endanger you and others. Visitors are asked to avoid making unnecessary noise. Children who accompany adult visitors should not be left unattended at any time.
The hospital lobby closes at 9 p.m. After hours there are doorbells at the main entrance and ER doors.
General Guidelines
Visiting Hours
Since we are in the flu season again, no visitors under the age of 15 will be allowed at this time.
With the patient’s permission individuals 15 years of age or older may visit from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Younger children MUST be supervised by an adult at all times. Visitors may be requested to show identification due to security and privacy regulations and to follow posted policies.
Protective Care
All visitors must check with the nurse prior to entering any protective care room. Patients may request restrictions on visitation.
Special Considerations
Pediatrics: Parents may visit at any time and are encouraged to stay with small children. Arrangements should be made to spend the night with the child by talking to the nurse.
