University Healthcare Helpful Visiting Tips

At University Healthcare, we recognize the important benefits to healing that come from the support of family and friends. We welcome visitors, but ask that you respect the hospital’s visitor policies so as not to interfere with the care we provide our patients.

Illness:

Please postpone your visit if you have an illness of any kind. If you’re ill, or there is a possibility of illness, a cheerful phone call to a patient is a good alternative.

Gifts/Treats:

Please do not bring food or beverages to a patient without first consulting with the patient’s physician or nurse. Depending on the patient’s specific diet, certain foods or beverages may interfere with their care plan.
