Visiting Hours and Policies

Visitors are often “good medicine” for patients. Family members and friends are welcome to visit. However, patient care is our primary concern at Baxter Regional Medical Center and, in order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours and regulations have been established for each division or unit. If you need additional information, please check with your nurse.

General guidelines for visitors:

• For the good health of our patients and employees, BRMC’s buildings and campus are smoke-free.
• Visitors must dress appropriately and must wear shirts and shoes.
• No more than two visitors are allowed at the bedside at one time.
• People with colds, sore throats or any contagious diseases should not visit patients.
• Visits should be kept short (15 minutes)
• Visitors should maintain a quiet environment and avoid unnecessary noise.
• Visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments, or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient.
