For Patients and Families

Visitors

We know it's important for your child to see friends and family while in the hospital. We ask that you limit visitors to your child's room to a maximum of three at a time. Make sure your child's visitors are considerate of other patients and staff, especially in regard to noise. Parents are responsible for their other children during visiting hours.

In an effort to stop the spread of illnesses like seasonal flu, visiting hours are occasionally limited to parents and guardians only. You will be notified if this happens.

Please notify staff on your child's unit in advance when arranging for entertainers or special guests. Visitors may not bring electrical appliances into the hospital.

Parents and guardians should wear ID badges to identify them as such as they move about the hospital. IDs are available at the front desk.

Friends and family members who are suffering from or have been exposed to any contagious diseases, such as a cold or chicken pox, should not visit the hospital.

Visitors under the age of 12 must be screened for exposure to any known contagious diseases, such as chicken pox or measles, before coming to inpatient floors. Visiting children will be given a dinosaur sticker to be worn at all times when they are in the hospital to show they have been screened.
