If you have cold or flu symptoms, the Infection Control Committee asks that you reconsider before visiting a patient in the hospital. If you feel it is necessary to visit, please keep your visit brief. The Committee asks that you take particular precautions with children visiting the hospital. Children are more susceptible to illnesses they may be exposed to while visiting a patient, and they are, in fact, exposed to many illnesses at school that they may bring to the hospital. The attention and support of family and friends are important to a patient's hospital stay and recovery.
Visits are a necessary and soothing part of the healing process.
For many patients, this is the highlight of their day. J. C. Blair's Visiting Policy encourages visitors with visiting hours and privileges appropriate to each patient unit and flexibility that does not compromise the patient's or roommate's care or privacy. Please visit one at a time. Children are permitted only under special circumstances. Isolation Rooms For their own safety, children under 12 are not permitted.
