Visiting hours are based on the needs of the patient, and visitors are encouraged to discuss any special visiting needs with the unit's head nurse.  Whenever possible and medically appropriate, the nurse will coordinate special visiting arrangements to meet patient and family needs.

Number of Visitors

A patient may receive no more than two visitors at a time.

Reach a Patient by Phone:  432-263-7361 or 800-472-1365

Food and Beverages

Visitors may not bring food or beverages to patients without authorization from unit physicians or nurses.

Children Under 14 Years of Age

Children (under 14 years of age) will be allowed visitation privileges on all wards.  This will be allowed as long as the visit remains conducive to the treatment of patients.  Nursing staff will determine if visitation is not appropriate (i.e. isolation, behavior problems, etc.).  Children will be accompanied by an adult (not the patient) at all times.

Clergy

Members of the clergy are welcome to visit patients who are members of their particular religious group at any time at the discretion of the unit physicians or nurses.

Exceptions

For the health and well-being of a patient, the attending physician may limit, restrict or deny visitation.  We apologize for any inconvenience when this occurs, and appreciate your understanding that it may be medically necessary.
