Most of the time, visitors are good medicine. However, because rest is an important part of our patient’s therapy, we ask that visitors help in their recovery by considering the following suggestions:
• Only two visitors per patient at a time.
• Keep visits brief 10 to 15 minutes.
• Speak quietly and avoid unnecessary noise.
• Do not leave children unattended in the hospital.
• When visiting in a semi-private room, be especially considerate of the other patient.
• Visitors may not spend the night in the room when both beds are occupied.
• Abide by visiting hours and leave when asked by hospital personnel.
