Parking
Visitor parking is free of charge. Our lots are well lit. Security personnel are available to escort you to your vehicle if needed. Dial the operator and ask for an escort.
Public Restrooms
Public restrooms are located next to the visitor waiting areas throughout the hospital. Visitors are asked to use the public restrooms to ensure their safety and privacy, as the bathroom doors in patient rooms do not lock.
General Visiting Guidelines
- Normal visiting hours are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Visitors should be healthy. Please be considerate of patients and stay away from the hospital if you have a communicable disease, such as a cold or flu. (Please refer to the Infection Control Precautions section of this guide.)
- When not in a patient room, visitors are asked to remain in public areas, such as lobbies or waiting areas.
- Members of the clergy may visit at any time.
- Children under the age of 13 must remain under the supervision of an adult at all times.
- Weapons, alcohol and illegal substances are not allowed in the hospital or on hospital grounds.
- Use of tobacco is not permitted in the hospital or on the hospital grounds.
- The Patient Care Unit Charge Nurse must approve family overnight visitation, if a family member requests to stay overnight. A visitor’s pass will be issued to the individual, which must be placed visibly on his/her clothing. The badge indicates to hospital staff that the visitor has permission to stay after 9 p.m. Please note that if the visitor leaves the building, he/she may not re-enter.
Emergency Center Visiting
With the exception of the following guidelines, each patient is permitted two adult visitors. Children under age 13 may visit in special circumstances with permission of the charge nurse or physician. Visitors must be free from recent exposure to communicable disease and without visible signs of infectious disease. During times of infectious outbreak in the community, visitation may be restricted. If visitors are asked to leave the treatment area, we appreciate their immediate cooperation and understanding.
Please respect the following guidelines:
- All visitors and staff are requested to wash their hands before and after patient contact. Containers with foam alcohol disinfectant are conveniently located outside the door of each patient room. In certain situations, visitors may be asked to wear a mask, gown and/or gloves while in the treatment room or in the waiting area.
- The charge nurse or emergency physician may restrict or expand visitation based on the needs of the patient and the department.
- No visitors will be allowed with a patient who has been a victim of a violent crime until visitation has been authorized by law enforcement.
- Visitors may be asked to step outside the patient room during patient exam or treatment.
- Visitors will return to the waiting room if the patient leaves the department for tests.
- Visitors are not permitted in areas of the Emergency Center outside of the patient’s room and the main waiting area.
- No food or beverages may be brought into patient rooms.
- A shirt and shoes must be worn by all visitors at all times.
Tobacco Free Policy

- In the buildings or on the grounds of the facilities
- In any vehicle on our grounds
- At any office/program operated off site by one of our facilities.
If you are a patient who smokes or uses tobacco, you may request that your physician prescribe a tobacco cessation aid for you while you are with us. We will do our part to make you comfortable in this environment, and ask that you and your family support the effort while you are with us.
