Visiting policies

No more than two visitors at a time in critical care units and no more than four visitors at a time in all other units during visiting hours. In addition, visitors under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

One visitor may remain overnight for the following services or circumstances:

• Pediatrics
• NICU
• Laboring mothers
• Patient advocates for elderly, disabled or impaired patients
• Undergoing surgery or a procedure
• End-of-life care

Waiting rooms

Hospital waiting room areas are available for patients' immediate family members. While the hospital is responsible for the care and upkeep of these areas, we ask that family members and friends help to keep these areas clean, safe and free of personal items. Hospital waiting rooms are typically open and available during the day from 5:30am to 8:30pm. We ask that family and friends make a generous effort to share the waiting room spaces with other patients' families.

Family policies

Family spokespersons can relay information and facilitate rotational patient visiting within hospital guidelines. We ask that families do not gather in our hallways and that all family members help to maintain quiet and calm while in the hospital. Security personnel are available to facilitate the use of alternate gathering spaces.

Hospital environments are not always appropriate for young children. Please seriously consider this before bringing a small child into the hospital setting. Children, free of illness and regardless of age, may visit in the hospital, however an adult must accompany them. For the safety of children, patients and staff, please do not allow a child to run or talk loudly in the hospital.

Exceptions to the above guidelines may be made in order to meet the individual needs of the patient and family, in consultation with the patient or hospital staff. Any change to the visiting guidelines will be at the discretion of the nurse caring for the patient with input from the charge nurse and/or nursing supervisor on duty or security personnel. Security personnel are available 24 hours a day for patient, visitor and staff safety and will be available to facilitate.
