Visitor Information
Visiting Hours
Family members and friends are welcome to visit; however, patient care
is our primary concern at Children's Hospital. To better serve our patients'
needs, specific visiting hours and regulations have been established for
each unit. Visiting hours are 8 am to 9 pm with the exception of the Critical
Care Units.

Overnight Guests
We encourage a family member to stay with their loved one. In a private
room, two adults may spend the night. In a semiprivate room, one adult
may spend the night.
Gifts for Patients
Visitors should check with the nurse before bringing gifts of food or drink
to patients. In the PICU, please check with the nursing staff regarding
any gifts for patients.
Balloons
Latex balloons are not allowed anywhere in the hospital. This policy is
designed to protect our patients, employees, medical staff and others
who suffer from latex allergies. Mylar balloons are acceptable and can
be purchased in the gift shop.
