Visitors

Family and friends are important to our patients.

Please review our Inpatient Visitor Guidelines.

Please note that fresh flowers and living plants are not allowed in our inpatient hospital. This is because of the special air filter systems installed there to help protect patients from infection. Also, to protect latex-sensitive patients and staff, latex balloons are not allowed.

For visiting outpatients, please see our Outpatient Visitor Policy.
