Visiting Hours: Visiting hours at Brenner Children’s Hospital are based on the individual needs of the patient. There are no set visiting hours.
The hospital will not restrict, limit or otherwise deny family presence or visitation privileges on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
All family members, visitors, and clergy must have permission of the parent/legal guardian to enter the nursing unit and/or patient’s room, even when parents are present.
Families will be asked to provide to staff a list of persons who may visit, in order to ensure the privacy and safety of our patients, families and staff.
Restrictions: When the condition of the patient indicates restrictions are necessary for the patient’s welfare and recovery, additional visitation guidelines will be provided to the family.
Family members/visitors will be asked to wash their hands before and after spending time with a patient. Family or visitors who have recently experienced fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory infection, chicken pox or any other communicable disease are subject to visitation restrictions.
No more than two visitors at a time (excluding parents and siblings) may visit in the patient’s room. Exceptions may be indicated due to patient condition or request.
Visiting children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
Overnight: Accommodations are provided for one parent, or parent-designated visitor who is at least 18 years old (may not be boyfriend or girlfriend of patient). Three quiet rooms are available for parents in the critical care units. Outside hospital accommodations include Ronald McDonald House and local hotels.
Family members/visitors who demonstrate behavior that is disruptive, disrespectful or threatening to staff, patients or other visitors will be asked to leave at the request of the patient and/or staff.
