Overnight Guest Guidelines

Our space is limited, so we ask that guests outside of the Family Birth Center plan to spend the night only if your loved one is a pediatric patient or critically ill. If you provide a phone number, the nursing staff will be happy to contact you if the patient’s condition changes. You are also welcome to call during the night to ask the nurse for updates on your loved one’s condition. Remember to have the passcode available.
