General Visiting Regulations

If the patient is in a semi-private room, it is encouraged to limit visitors to two per patient at any one time in consideration of the other patient and space constraints. A family member should be designated, if possible, to give condition updates to those family members not present. An adult must accompany all children under 12 years of age. Nursing permission is needed for exceptions (i.e. such as infants). More>>
