Visitor guidelines at Ascension Providence Hospital
Our visitation policy allows us to provide a safe environment, high-quality care, and positive experiences when and where our patients need us.
- Hospital visiting hours are not specifically designated in most areas. Due to patient care needs and physician rounds, it is often better to visit between 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Children may visit when accompanied by an adult and are not disruptive to other patients. After 9 p.m., visitors may enter through the ED. Doors are locked in other locations until 6 a.m.
- The Intensive Care Unit is open 24 hours a day EXCEPT from:
6:30 a.m.-8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m. - Quiet time is observed from 10 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. every day. Families can still visit during quiet time, but we encourage families to go home and get rest during these hours.
- Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
- 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.
