Visiting Guidelines:

Visiting can be good medicine for patients. Family members and friends are always welcome to visit. Normal visiting hours are from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, however hours are flexible.

• Please remember if you have a cold, sore throat, or are generally not feeling well, you should not visit patients.
• To protect our patient's privacy and to ensure patient confidentiality, visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient.

Visitors lounge areas are located in the main hospital lobby and outside each nursing node. If you have any questions about the location of waiting areas, please ask any hospital staff member or check with the Information Desk located in each campus main lobby.
