Maternity Policy

---

For most up-to-date visitation rules, see our Patients & Visitors page.

Labor and delivery visitation:

• Patients may have two visitors for the duration of their stay. One visitor may stay overnight.
• Siblings of the newborn may be accompanied by one of the two visitors for the following times:
  • 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.
  • Siblings must be fever free, no cough or other signs of illness

We welcome your visitors in the maternity unit. You can decide who may visit you and your baby. Children may participate in the hospital experience and hold the new baby if you wish.

After 9 p.m., visitors should be quiet and respectful of others’ need for rest. We recommend you limit your own visitors during this time to aid in your recovery.

Please advise family and friends who are ill, or who have recently been exposed to a communicable disease, to stay home and refrain from visiting. Everyone should wash his or her hands before touching the baby.

Visitors may bring or send small gifts, flowers and Mylar balloons. The hospital is a latex-reduced environment, and latex balloons should not be brought to the hospital campus.

Please note: For the privacy and safety of all our patients, visitors should remain in the maternity center, hospital lobby or other public areas instead of waiting in hallways in patient care areas when they are not visiting you in your room.
