We recommend that children under the age of 16 do not visit the ICU. Children’s immune systems are not as mature as those of adults, which makes them more vulnerable to infection. In addition, young children may become upset and confused when they see a loved one in critical condition. If you feel it is important to bring a child to the ICU, please let the nursing staff know. Children under 12 must be with an adult at all times.
- Visiting hours are open throughout the day.
- Number of visitors for each patient is limited to two at any given time and they may be asked to leave the bedside during change of shift report.
- After 8 pm, no more than two visitors per patient may remain in the ICU Visitors Lounge.
