Waiting areas

Stay comfortable while you stay informed in one of several waiting areas throughout the hospital. Our front lobby features comfortable seating conveniently located near patient registration and the front desk information area. Specific waiting areas can be used for visiting patients in the Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department, and Same Day Surgery Unit.

Stop the spread of illness and infection before it can start. The surest way of accommodating patients, visitors, and hospital staff is to put safety at the forefront of our policy. If you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, we ask that you refrain from visiting patients.Guests and patients also are to use the hand sanitizer stations located near the entrances of the building and self-screen using the kiosks.

Visiting hours in general areas, as well as certain units are subject to change depending upon the local conditions. Restrictions may be put into place in order to preserve a healing and comfortable environment for patients and employees. Click here for current guidelines.
