A Special Note for Family and Friends
For the comfort of our patients, we ask that our visitors observe
the following:
- Please limit the number of visitors at the
bedside to two and be considerate about the length of your visit.
- Whenever
possible, ask the nursing staff if there are specific times when
your presence would be beneficial to the patient’s comfort
or your peace of mind.
- Please do
not adjust any siderails, cribrails or equipment that may be
in use without consulting the nurse.
- If your loved one
is receiving patient controlled analgesia for pain, please do
not push the button to administer additional doses of medication.
Although you may mean well, this well-intentioned effort can
result in serious medical problems for the patient.
- Assist us in
creating a quiet, soothing and healing environment.
- Adhere to the policy regarding visiting hours for medical/surgical
patients, Maternity and ICU/CCU.
- Visitors who are
visibly ill (i.e. sneezing, coughing, etc.) should refrain from
visiting.
- Shoes and shirts must be worn
at all times in the hospital.
- Please check with the nurse regarding dietary restrictions
before offering any food/beverage to a patient.
- You may be asked to leave the room during a physician visit
or treatment. This is to respect the privacy of our patients.
Thank you for your cooperation in meeting
the needs of our patients so that we are able to provide the best
possible experience during their stay.
