Visiting hours vary in different areas of the hospital, and depend upon the approval of the patient’s physician. Please do not bring patients food as they may be on a controlled diet. For security reasons, the hospital locks its doors every evening at 9 p.m. Visitors needing to enter the hospital after 9 p.m. must come through the Emergency Department entrance.
