Before arriving, confirm visiting hours and check whether the patient’s unit has specific visitation requirements. If you are feeling sick, please reschedule your visit. During your visit, follow any instructions provided by caregivers to help ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
Some units care for patients with weakened immune systems or complex medical conditions and may require additional infection prevention measures. Depending on the care setting, visitors may be asked to wear a mask or follow other safety guidelines. Your care team will let you know if special precautions are needed and will provide guidance based on current health and regulatory requirements.
If you are feeling sick or experiencing symptoms of illness, please postpone your visit whenever possible. This helps protect patients, visitors, and caregivers from potential infection risks. If you are coming to the hospital to receive care yourself, follow any instructions provided by your care team.
