Visitation restrictions
Circumstances may allow for specific exceptions to any visitation restrictions described on this webpage. Those circumstances include religious visitation as well as a designated support person for a patient with a disability to provide assistance with communication or other necessary components of the patient's treatment. All persons entering under an exception remain subject to appropriate infection control protocols.
Individual department policies
It's important to know what department your loved one has been admitted to, as certain ones may have stricter guidelines than others. Check the information below to ensure you are fully prepared for your visit to our hospital.
Emergency department
If your loved one is in the emergency department, they are allowed two visitors throughout their entire stay. If they are then admitted to the hospital, visitors should follow the above-mentioned visitation guidelines.
End-of-life visitations
Special arrangements will be made on a case-by-case basis for end-of-life visitations.
Isolation patient visitation
If you or a loved one require isolation, only one visitor is allowed at a time. Visitors must follow all personal protective equipment protocol.
Labor and delivery
The labor and delivery department allows up to three adult visitors, including your delivery support person, in the labor and delivery suite. The three designated visitors will receive a wristband that must be worn at all times.
Only the support person may remain in the room during delivery and overnight. The remaining two visitors may visit before and after delivery, during normal visiting hours. Visitors may not switch out or exchange wristbands as bands will be registered to the individual.
Siblings may visit the newborn but must be accompanied by one of the three designated visitors.
Non-isolation patients
If you or a loved one do not require isolation, up to two visitors are allowed during your stay.
Outpatient care
Individuals receiving outpatient care may be accompanied by two visitors during their care.
