Children must be under parental supervision and always remain in the room. Should the family need to leave the room, they must wait in the lobby waiting area. UHealth does not request any visitor to provide proof of vaccination or immunization status.
Due to space limitations at some UHealth locations, the number of visitors may be limited.
To ensure a safe, respectful, and healing environment for all, we ask that patients, families, and visitors follow the guidelines below:
- Recording of staff is strictly prohibited without prior consent. This includes audio, video, or photography.
- Appropriate behavior is expected at all times. Disruptive, aggressive, or inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated.
Failure to comply with these expectations may result in restricted or revoked visitation privileges.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and respectful environment for our patients and staff.
Visitation guidelines will be modified as needed.
