Patients and Visitors

We see life’s most exciting events and some of its most difficult moments—and everything in between. And we’re here to give every patient and visitor our best.

Visitor Policy

Updated January 12, 2026

To help protect our patients, families, and care teams during a rise in respiratory illnesses in our community, visitors must be 14 years of age or older across all inpatient units at this time.

Visiting hours remain unchanged.

As always, if you or someone planning to visit has symptoms of a respiratory or other illness, or has recently been exposed, we ask that you help protect our patients by staying home. If visiting is necessary, please wear a mask and practice good hand hygiene.

For questions concerning NICUs managed by Dayton Children’s Hospital, such as the NICU at Kettering Health Main Campus, please see their visitor guidelines.
