Visiting Guidelines
Each patient is allowed one visitor.
Due to special situations in an ER setting, family members may be asked
to remain in the waiting area, or the number of visitors may be limited.
Visitors in the patient care area are asked to remain at the patient's bedside.
Our staff will make every effort to keep family members and friends informed
of your condition and treatment.
