Be prepared to see lots of wires, tubes, and equipment. Monitors have alarms to alert the nurse when something needs to be checked. Alarms are not always a cause for concern. It is our goal to provide the best possible care for your loved one. Whenever possible, the ICU maintains an open-door visitation policy that is flexible to patient, family, and staff needs.
Visitation is limited to immediate family members and significant others.
Rest and sleep periods are essential for recovery. Depending upon your family member s condition, the length of visits will be limited so that he or she receives the care and rest needed. Clergy will be allowed to visit at all times. Children under 12 are allowed to visit only with the approval of nursing staff. Please talk to your nurse about special circumstances regarding children.
