Visiting Hours

Visitors can be good medicine for patients, so we encourage family members and friends to visit. However, patient care is our primary concern at Providence. In order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours and regulations have been established for units in the Heart Institute.

Intensive Care Unit and Medical Coronary Care Unit

Visiting a patient in either of these units is limited to immediate family members because the patients require very specialized care. Only two (2) visitors are allowed at a time from the immediate family. No children under the age of 14 are allowed. Visiting hours are:

8:30 to 9 a.m.
12:30 to 1 p.m.
2:30 to 3 p.m.
5:30 to 6 p.m.
8:30 to 9 p.m.

Cardiac Surgery Recovery (CSR) Unit

Visiting a patient on this unit is limited to no more than 15 minutes. Only immediate family is allowed initially after surgery. After the initial visit, no more than two (2) visitors are allowed at one time. No substitutions and no children under the age of 14 are allowed. Visits are at the discretion of the CSR nursing staff and the patient's condition. Visiting hours are:

9 a.m. to 12 noon
3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
