About Medina |
General Visiting
We believe that visitation of family and friends should be as least restrictive as possible. Visiting hours are unlimited, except in certain circumstances. On a case by case basis, limitations may need to be made due to the clinical condition of the patient or at a patient’s request. In addition, care giving by family members is encouraged, at the discretion of the family and patient.
For the safety and security of patients, families and staff, all visitors must sign in at the front desk. You will receive a visitor’s badge to be displayed on a visible article of clothing throughout your visit.
Visitation is open to two visitors at a time. Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Visiting Guidelines for The Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
To facilitate communication, upon admission of a patient to ICU one family member will be given the direct phone line to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Only the designated person will be allowed to call for information. All other family members should call the designated person for updates. Visitation is limited to two people at a time; children under 12 are not able to enter the ICU.
Surgery
Families of surgical patients are provided with a waiting area on the third floor. A surgical information volunteer is available. In Same Day Surgery, only one adult visitor is permitted at bedside. Children having surgery may have two adult visitors.
Emergency Department
Visitors may be permitted, but when necessary to carry out the patient’s treatment they may be asked to move to the waiting room. Emergency Department staff will keep visitors informed of the patient’s condition.
Senior Behavioral Health Unit
Visiting hours are weekdays 1pm-4pm and 6pm-8pm. Weekends & Holidays 12pm-8pm. Two visitors are allowed at a time. All visitors must sign in at the Nursing Station. All packages must be inspected. Visitors under the age of 16 are allowed with the permission of the attending psychiatrist. Also, special exceptions can be made at the discretion of the attending psychiatrist.
