  • No visitors are currently allowed in the Emergency Department. If you are waiting for a patient, please wait in your car.  Pediatric patients or patients with special needs may have a parent or guardian accompany them to the ER.
  • For compassionate care accommodations will be made
  • No visitors under the age of 16
  • Patients under the age of 18 are allowed to have parent/guardian
  • Outpatient procedures--Companions are asked to wait in their car for the patient, unless  the patient needs a companion for care purposes. Mother/baby ultrasounds will permit two visitors.
