Helpful Tips for Visitors
Visitors are asked to keep their voices low at all times to help us promote a healing environment. Infants and small children are discouraged from visiting the hospital. This is for the physical and emotional well-being of the children as well as the patient.
Visitors are asked to conclude their visit by 9pm each evening to allow adequate time for patients to rest. Overnight visitors are limited to one per patient in private rooms. Semi-private rooms are assigned male/male and female/female. To ensure the privacy of all patients, overnight visitors are not allowed in semi-private rooms except in very unusual situations. In these unique situations, an overnight visitor in a semi-private room must be of the same gender as the patient.
To Contact a Patient
To call a patient, dial 334-293-8 + room number.
To allow for our patients' proper rest, the operator does not transfer calls to rooms from 9pm to 6am; however, patients may place outgoing calls at any time. Patients in our intensive care units do not have phones in their rooms. Please contact the nurses' station to leave a message.
