Visitor Guidelines What to Bring The staff of Carilion Stonewall Jackson Hospital understands the importance of visits from family and friends. We are committed to making these visits as pleasant and safe as possible for all of our patients, their visitors and the staff. In order to do this, we ask that you observe a few rules: • Visiting hours end at 8 p.m. The main entrance and ground floor entrance will be locked at 8 p.m. and unlocked at 6 a.m. Monday through Sunday for security purposes. We request that after visiting hours, visitors to the hospital use the Emergency Room entrance. • Visitors must wear shirts and shoes and be dressed appropriately. • Visitors in semi-private rooms should be considerate of both patients. • Visitors with colds, sore throats, coughs, fevers or any contagious diseases should not visit. • Parents are encouraged not to bring children to the hospital as visitors, with the exception of children visiting their mother in the Birthing Center. • Two visitors per patient at a time. • Visits should be kept short. Visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or when the doctor or hospital staff needs to assess or provide treatment to the patient. Visitors should wait in appropriately designated waiting rooms and not in the hall due to the privacy of other patients and safety of patients, staff and visitors.
