Visitation policy
Guests are allowed to accompany the patient at their bedside; however, we prefer there are only one or two guests in the patient’s room. To provide the best possible care and keep from overwhelming the patient, it is best for relatives and friends to remain in the emergency lobby area. Our wonderful healthcare providers will keep friends and family informed about their loved one’s condition and treatment as much as possible.
