Visiting hours
Visiting hours are generally between 11:00 am and 9:00 pm, but can vary according to patient needs. Please keep in mind:
- Patients need care. Mornings and early afternoons are busy times for patients, doctors and nurses. Treatments, personal care and consultations usually happen between 7:00 am - 3:00 pm.
- Patients need rest. Please keep visits brief and limit the number of visitors. On the day of surgery, check with the nursing staff before entering a patient's room. If you'd like to call a patient's room phone, please do it before 9:00 pm.
- Patients need privacy. You may be asked to leave briefly during procedures, treatments, or other care activities.
- Kids who are visiting must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
