VISITING HOURS

All visitors must check in at the information desk located in the hospital’s main lobby. A visitor identification badge will be given upon arrival. We ask all visitors to adhere to the hours designated by CMH in an effort to provide our patients with adequate rest and privacy.

Patients undergoing surgical procedures may be accompanied to the hospital by one companion who may remain with the patient for the initial intake and then proceed to the Surgical Waiting Area, where they will be contacted by Surgical Services staff.

All visitors must call into the unit using the telephone located in the waiting room. Two visitors will be allowed to visit a ICU patient at a time between the hours of 11am – 7pm daily.

Visiting hours are unrestricted. Healthy siblings over the age of twelve may visit, if accompanied by an adult, unless otherwise stated.

The Department of Emergency services will allow one visitors per patient.

* Monday-Friday 4pm-7pm.

*Weekends & Holidays 2pm-7pm

Children twelve and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult.

  • Visitation will be allowed only between the hours of 12:00 pm until 8:00 pm daily.
  • Patients will be permitted two healthy visitors per day.
  • Children 12 years to 17 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
  • All visitors should present to the main lobby of the hospital wearing a mask. They will be checked in, screened, and have a temperature check. If their temperature is above 100.4 degrees, they will not be permitted entry to the hospital.
  • Visitors for ALL patients will be required to wear a face mask and perform hand hygiene upon entering and leaving the patient room.
