Visiting Hours

Family and friends are an important part of a patient's healing process and can help the patient's hospital stay seem more pleasant.  Our visiting policy is designed to offer the nurturing benefits that family and friends can bring, while allowing patients time to rest and recover.  Visiting is encouraged between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.  Families who feel they need to stay need to discuss this with the nursing staff.
