No, the general rule is that service animals are allowed in patient rooms and anywhere else in the hospital the public and patients are allowed. The specific areas excluded, for safety reasons, are operating rooms, pre- and post-operative areas, and we reserve the right to deny access to intensive care units, and any other areas that require a protected environment. In these areas, the final decision will be made by providers and nurses in these areas to verify that it is safe for the dog to visit.
