Please follow the guidelines below when visiting to ensure the safety of all patients and guests.
Family and Visitor Presence
As a patient, you have the right to choose who visits you, including but not limited to a spouse, family members, a domestic partner or a friend.
You also have the right to define your “family” and how they will be involved in your care. Family may be anyone related to you by birth or marriage, friends, or neighbors.
We ask that you designate a health partner upon admission. For additional information on choosing a health partner.
Your health partner and adult family members are always welcome. However, certain visitor restrictions may be implemented by hospital administration or your care team.
Visitor privileges will not be denied on the basis of race, national origin, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
Visiting Hours
A patient's health partner or an adult family member are welcome bedside 24 hours a day, according to patient and care team preferences.
Any request for an overnight stay of an adult family member must be coordinated and approved in advance with your care team.
Visiting hours are 5 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday – Friday; and 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. weekends and major holidays, for non-family members and children to support rest and healing for our patients.

You may request that any visitor be escorted from your room at any time for any reason.
An adult must accompany all children and dependent adults who visit the hospital and should check with the nurse before bringing them into your room. Health and age restrictions may apply.
The hospital may not exclude a visitor unless that person’s presence disturbs you or another individual’s rights, privacy or safety, or the visit is not advised for medical or therapeutic reasons.
Family or visitor presence may be limited or restricted based on your care plan, a specific unit visitor policy, or during periods of seasonal or transmittable illness in the community.
