Calling a patient
Hospital operators connect outside callers to a patient's phone number.
Occasionally a patient will indicate that she or he is not to be contacted. In that case the operator will not be permitted to connect you to the patient who has given this directive.
Visiting policy
Visits from family and friends play an important role in a loved one's recovery. We have established visiting schedules (daily, 11 to 8 p.m.) and guidelines for our patients' comfort and well-being.
We ask that visitors please keep visits brief and quiet. Please limit guests to two at a time. We also ask all visitors to be considerate of the needs of all our patients.
