Visitors are kindly asked to refrain from loud talking or making excessive noise, as this may disturb other patients.

Patients and visitors are responsible for respecting the property of other patients, visitors, employees, and the hospital.

Anyone entering the hospital after 8 p.m. must use the emergency room entrance.
