Visitor Policy

Updated December 18, 2025

To help protect our babies, parents, and care teams during a rise in respiratory illnesses in our community, Special Care Nurseries are currently limited to visitors 14 years of age and older. For the safety of our moms and newborns, we are not able to allow visitors 13 years old and younger in these areas at this time.

Visiting hours for all other areas of our facilities 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.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our patients safe.
