How many visitors can I have after delivery? What are visiting hours?
We are a family focused unit and encourage family members to visit. Visitors, siblings and family members are encouraged to come during day time hours. After 8:00 PM we reserve time for only the parents and baby to bond and rest. Fathers are encouraged to spend the night and actively participate in their baby’s care.
