Visiting

ICU patients require much rest and quiet for their conditions to improve. For this reason the Intensive Care Unit’s daily visiting hours are:
11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
5 – 8 p.m.

Only two visitors may be in the patient room at any given time, and only immediate family may visit. Children under 14 years of age are not permitted to visit the ICU due to infection control concerns.

Cafeteria
The cafeteria is located on the second floor of the hospital, by the main elevators. The cafeteria hours are:
Monday – Friday
7 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.

Weekends
7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Hot cooked foods are also available for:
Breakfast 7 – 9:30 a.m.
Lunch 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Dinner 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.

Sandwiches, salad bar, pizza, drinks, and other foods are available at all times the cafeteria is open.

Vending machines with hot and cold food, a microwave oven, coffee, and beverage machines are available 24 hours a day.

Gifts
Flowers, candy, and food are not allowed in the ICU. They may carry infections that can harm patients. (Artificial flowers are permissible.)

Alarms
The hospital routinely runs drills for patient safety and emergency preparedness. During a fire alarm, room doors and unit doors will automatically close or be closed. Please stay where you are until a staff member signals the alarm is clear.

Telephone
A telephone is available for your use before entering the ICU to visit. Instructions for use of the telephone are posted on the waiting room wall. This phone does not call out of the hospital. A pay phone is located near the elevators and vending machines if you’d like to call outside of the hospital.

Cell phones can disrupt our monitors and are prohibited inside of the Hospital.

ATM
For your convenience, an ATM machine is located in the main Hospital lobby near the Information Desk.

Chaplain Services
Clergy and staff are on call 24 hours a day. If you desire the service of a chaplain of your faith, one of the ICU staff will assist you.
