3. Does the Medical Center have set visiting hours?
We are committed to keeping families together and encourage visits for support and emotional recovery. To provide a therapeutic and restful environment, we recommend no more than two visitors at a time. Visitors may stop at the lobby desk to ask for information or to obtain a patient's room number. Children must be escorted by an adult at all times. Children 12 years and older are permitted in the ICU.
When visiting the ICU, please call prior entering the unit. An intercom is conveniently located outside the ICU doors. This will allow the nurse to prepare for your visit, as well as protect the privacy of all patients.
In critical care settings, visiting hours are based on individual patient needs. Exceptions to these guidelines will be considered by the nurse and carried out with the patient's best interest in mind. ICU visiting hours are limited and individualized to meet the patient's and family's needs. Please ask your ICU nurse for the visiting hours. For your convenience, there is a visitor's lounge located near the ICU where visitors may wait between visits.
