Visitor Information

Visitation:

• WHMC has open and flexible patient visitation. Visiting arrangements are patient-specific and based on individual needs. Patients can choose to not have visitors or phone calls. Please advise your nurse of specific requests.
• Visitors must be 12 years or older unless accompanied by an adult.
• Visitors who have experienced a fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, skin rash, vomiting or diarrhea in the 48 hours before a visit is planned should not visit until it is certain they will not expose the patient to more risk of disease.
• Visitors should wash hands before and after visiting.
• Visitors should comply with any infection control practices that may be important to the patient's condition (e.g., wear isolation gown, mask, and/or gloves).
• Visitors who are disruptive or disturb patients, staff, or other visitors will be asked to stop the disruptive behavior or be escorted from the premises by law enforcement.
• Visitors are welcome to dine in WHMC's cafeteria. There are also "guest" meal trays available upon request.

After-hour visiting

For safety and security reasons, all visitors arriving after 6:30 p.m. and before 5:30 a.m. must enter through the emergency department entrance.
