ER Visitor Policy:
So we can evaluate the patient and begin necessary treatment, we require visitors to remain in the waiting room initially, except for minors and children. Once treatment begins, one visitor can stay at the bedside if possible. If a critical situation delays or prevents a visitor's presence, our team will update waiting parties frequently about their loved one's condition.
