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.
