Out of consideration for our patients and their visitors, there are some guidelines we ask visitors to observe when visiting a patient at YRMC.
- If you are ill, please do not visit a patient in the hospital.
- We encourage you to wash and/or sanitize your hands before and after your visit.
- Let the patient know when to expect you.
- Make your visits brief.
- Visitors may be asked to step outside the room to ensure privacy during patient care.
- Observe the patient’s diet plan. Food may only be brought in for a patient with the permission of the patient’s nurse.
- Respect a patient’s desire for privacy regarding his or her condition.
- Be supportive of the patient and understanding of his or her fears and concerns.
- Do not leave children in the lobby or waiting area unattended.
- Do not use the patient’s bathroom. Public bathrooms are located throughout the hospital.
