Patients often have special needs for food or fluids. For example, the staff may be measuring or limiting how much fluid the patient drinks. Therefore, please check with the nurse before bringing or giving the patient extra food or fluids. To ensure their privacy and comfort, patient bathrooms are for use by patients only . There are public rest rooms throughout the hospital for visitors and staff.
Patient rooms can comfortably accommodate two visitors at a time.
When more than two visitors are present, it may be difficult for the staff to get near the patient to provide care. Your consideration will be appreciated in these situations. When there are several visitors, please use the patient visitor lounges on each unit as these areas can more easily accommodate larger groups. Some visitors may wish to stay with the patient. Generally, this is not easily accommodated unless the patient is in a private room.
