Visitor Policy
Visiting hours are 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In some conditions, visiting may be restricted, especially when a caregiver feels it necessary for the patient’s condition or when illnesses like COVID-19 or flu levels are high.
COVID-19 Considerations
What to expect as a visitor of a suspected or diagnosed COVID-19 patient:
- You must follow all visitor instructions.
- You must pass the facility’s entry screening process.
- Check-in at the nurses’ station on the unit and notify staff of arrival before entering the patient room.
- Before entering the patient room, you will be required to put on personal protective equipment (PPE) provided by the nursing team, which includes a gown, gloves, and isolation mask. A face shield or goggles should also be worn.
- When entering an isolation room or area, a member of the hospital care team will help you with PPE.
- You are allowed to bring food to the patient, but food items will not be able to be stored in the unit patient refrigerators.
- When exiting an isolation room or area, a member of the hospital care team will help you safely remove your PPE.
- At the end of the visit, you will leave the hospital directly.
