Visiting Hours
Hospital Visitor Guideline Changes
To ensure the well-being and safety of our patients in light of the H1N1 outbreak, we have made the following changes to our visitation policy:
- No visitors under the age of 18. Exceptions to this policy can be made by the treating healthcare provider for end-of-life and other humanitarian situations.
- No sick visitors. If you have fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, please postpone your visit until you are feeling better.
- Only two visitors allowed in a patient room at a time. This applies to inpatient rooms and when accompanying patients to the emergency department.
