Visitor guidelines at Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County
Our visitation policy allows us to provide a safe environment, high-quality care, and positive experiences when and where our patients need us.
Additional information for visitors
- Visitors are encouraged to visit between 6 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. We recommend that only two people visit at one time. In most cases and with patient approval, one responsible adult (18 years or older) is allowed to stay overnight.
- If a patient is in isolation, visitors must follow the instructions provided in Infection Control policies and as instructed by the isolation signage.
- Visitors showing signs or symptoms of infection or illness should not visit. Symptoms of illness could include cough, fever, runny nose, rash, vomiting, diarrhea, or sore throat.
- When calling to check on a patient’s condition or treatment, please have the patient’s PIN number available. The PIN number is provided at the patient’s discretion. We are not able to release any information to those calling who do not have the PIN. This is to protect the patient’s privacy. To speak to the patient’s nurse, please call 850-769-1511 and give the operator the patient’s room number.
- Certain areas of the hospital, including the NICU, PICU, ER, labor and delivery, and surgery may have additional guidelines for visitors.
