Menu 802-257-0341 Visitor Information Visitor Information IMPORTANT NOTE: During the Covid-19 pandemic, BMH has updated several of the hospital’s visitation policies to ensure the safety of patients, guests, and staff. Please follow this link to our covid-19 web page where you will find current information on a variety of important topics, including information for visitors. At BMH we recognize that visitors are extremely important to the people in our care. With this in mind, we ask family and loved ones to read and observe the following visitor information: In most situations we encourage patient visitation between the hours of 10:00 am – 6:00 pm. All visitors must be free of infection or communicable diseases. Friends and family with fever, flu-like symptoms, or other symptoms of infection should not visit. To respect the comfort of all our patients, we generally limit visitors to two-at-a-time per patient. In the Birthing Center, up to four people of your choice may be in the room until your baby is born. We will ask those who are not able to be in the room to relax in one of our comfortable waiting areas. Due to our safety policies, we do not allow guests to wait in hallways . Dads and partners, or a designated support person, may stay overnight in the Birthing Center. BMH allows guests to stay overnight if the patient is a child (under the age of 18) or is on comfort care/hospice. Children under the age of twelve may visit provided they are the siblings, children, or grandchildren of the patient. BMH requires adult supervision at all times. Staff will ask visitors who do not follow regulations, or who display unacceptable or disruptive behavior, to leave. If necessary, we will call Security for additional help. Code H: We recognize that patients and their families are vital members of the care team. You and your loved ones may be able to recognize changes in a patient’s well-being that may not be obvious to others. That’s why BMH proudly offers Code H to ensure a safe environment for hospitalized patients. If at any time you sense a serious change in your loved one’s condition, notify a member of the care team immediately. If you feel you need additional assistance, simply activate the Code H system by calling extension 111. Tobacco-Free Buildings and Grounds: BMH provides a healthy, safe, and clean environment for our community. That’s why we strictly prohibit the use of all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, on all BMH properties. We require all staff, volunteers, patients, and visitors to take responsibility for enforcing this policy. Cell Phone Use: Brattleboro Memorial Hospital allows the general use of cell phones throughout the hospital provided they do not interfere with patient care, patient confidentiality, or patient comfort. Patient care is our first concern. Please do not get in the way of staff workflow or activities. Also, do not interfere when a member of the healthcare staff is in the room to provide care. And please remember patient confidentiality when using a cell phone. Last, do not take photos in the hospital. Latex balloons: We do not permit latex balloons in the hospital. But, we love Mylar balloons! Wireless Devices: BMH offers wireless connections (WiFi) to people who want to use laptops while visiting. WiFi is currently available in both our main lobbies. Use of our wireless connection means you agree to the following terms of use: You access the internet at your own risk. We do not provide technical support. We recommend that subscribers use personal antivirus, firewall, and virtual private network (VPN) software on their devices if security is a concern on the public open network. BMH is not responsible for any hardware or software issues that may arise before, during, or after use of our wireless network. Our content filtering tools ensure users do not mistakenly land on web sites containing material inconsistent with our purpose for providing internet access. BMH’s wireless connection may not be used to either view or send offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages and/or images. This service is separate from any network used to transmit patient data. Brattleboro Memorial Hospital does not collect personally identifiable information from your use of the wireless network. However, we do record device address, time, and date of connection for usage reporting.
