 Visiting Hours
Visitors can be "good medicine" for patients. Family members and friends are welcome to visit. However, patient care is our primary concern at River Parishes Hospital, and, in order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours and regulations have been established for each unit. The visiting hours for general, medical, and surgical units are from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. and may be different for other units. Visiting hours and regulations are available at the Receptionist's Desk. Please follow these guidelines. If you need additional information, please check with a nurse on duty.
Visiting Regulations
Following are general guidelines for visitors:
All visitors going to patients' rooms must be at least 12 years of age. In certain situations, a patient may leave the floor to visit children in the Hospital's lobby, or children may have a limited visit in the patient's room. If you wish to make such arrangements please talk with your nurse.
Visitors may not smoke in patient rooms or anywhere in the Hospital, except the designated smoking area which is located outside the Hospital.
Shirts and shoes must be worn.
No more than two visitors are allowed in the room at one time. Visitors in semi-private rooms should be considerate of both patients.
People with colds, sore throats or any contagious diseases should not visit patients.
Visits should be kept short, and to maintain a quiet environment visitors should avoid unnecessary noise.
Visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient.
Liberal visiting arrangements may be made for families of surgical patients on the day of surgery.
