For Visitors

We encourage family and friends to be with their loved one while in the hospital. We view family and friends as our partners in the patient's health and recovery and we support their presence and participation in the patient's care and decision-making. Of course, the patient has the right to determine the extent to which they would like family and friends involved in their care.
