Visitors must stop at the Information Desk in the lobby at the Jamestown Street entrance to receive a visitor’s pass and the room number of the patient they have come to visit. Information Desk staff must call the Geropsychiatric Unit to provide visitor access to that unit.

Hospitality Rooms
Comfortable waiting areas for visitors are located on each patient unit. Family members of patients undergoing surgery may wait in the waiting room on the 4th floor near the surgical suite where the surgeon will call on them following the procedure. The Same Day Surgery visitors’ waiting room is located on the 1st floor near the main lobby. After a procedure and post-anesthesia recovery, same day patients will be transported back to the Same Day Unit where those accompanying them may visit them prior to discharge.
Pastoral Care and Chapel
A non-denominational chapel is located on the 3rd floor of the hospital. All clergy are welcome to visit members of their congregations who are hospitalized. If your place of worship does not have a representative assigned to visit patients on a regular basis, we suggest that you or your loved one notify your clergy personally to arrange visitation.
