Hospital visiting hours will be from 8 am to noon 7 days a week.

Patients can have 1 visitor a day.

Pregnant women may have 1 support person with them through labor, delivery and their after birth stay.

For the Special Care Nursery, the birth parent and her support person are allowed. 

Both must wear an infant identification bracelet.

For the Emergency Department and urgent care centers, 1 visitor can accompany a non-covid patient.

He or she must stay in the patient’s room and may help settle the patient if admitted to the hospital.

For patients having procedures or surgery, 1 visitor is permitted in the specified lobby during the procedure or surgery.

This visitor may also help settle the patient into his or her room if admitted.

Visits are prohibited for patients with covid-19, those suspected to have it and anyone under age 18.

Visitors must wear masks including when in patient rooms.

Hospital staff will screen all approved visitors before entering.
