We encourage parents and immediate family members to spend as much time as they wish with our patients. Siblings may participate in selected patient activities when space and staffing permit. We request that you limit the number of visitors at any one time in consideration of other patients and the time necessary for the doctors and nurses to effectively care for your child All hospital visitors must wear identification badges or stickers to ensure the safety of our patients.
Parents receive badges at the time their child is admitted.
It is your right to ask anyone visiting your child to show their hospital identification to you. To maintain the healthiest environment possible and to avoid infection of patients, visitors will be screened for contagious diseases. Please do not bring to the hospital any children who display signs of contagious diseases or who have been exposed to measles or chicken pox. On most units, the hospital can provide a sleeping space in the patient's room for one adult immediate family member. There are limited sleeping facilities, which require reservations, near the intensive care units for parents of patients in those units.
