They may not wait in the Birth Center hallways. Visitors needing assistance to get to a patient's room may ask at the lobby or emergency desks for help. Visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments, or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient. Visitors needing to see patients after regular visiting hours must request a Visitor Pass from the Emergency Admitting Desk. Liberal visiting arrangements may be made for families of surgery patients on the day of surgery.
Some special circumstances require that a family member or designee stay overnight with a patient.
Whenever possible, we will try to accommodate the personal needs of the overnight visitor. Please talk to a member of the nursing staff if a visitor is planning to spend the night. Any personal information about your diagnosis and treatment must come from your physician. This information is only available to members of your immediate family whom you designate to receive it. Gifts for Patients Before bringing gifts of food or drink to patients, visitors should check with the nurse to make sure the gift is appropriate.
