Intensive Care Units:
To provide patients with the best care possible, we have established visiting guidelines. Only one or two family members or clergy at a time may visit a patient. We ask that you limit your visits to the recommended time (listed below) to allow your loved one time for recovery.

Before entering any intensive care area, please ring the door bell so that your family member’s nurse can make arrangements for your visit. If you have special circumstances, we will make every effort to accommodate your visitation needs.

Occasionally, patient care activities may make it necessary for us to limit visits. If this occurs, we will make every effort for you to continue your visit as soon as possible.

To protect your loved one’s confidentiality, we cannot provide detailed information regarding a patient’s condition over the telephone. We request that one family member be designated to relay information to others.

Below is information you will find helpful regarding our critical care units and waiting rooms.
