Location Map FAQ
In order to encourage a healing environment, children less than 12 years may only visit patients on the Medical/Surgical and OBGYN wards. For the protection of our newborns on the OBGYN ward, siblings of the newborn are the only children less than 12 years who are allowed to visit under an adult’s supervision. They are prohibited from visiting the ICU, Pediatric Ward and patients who have been placed in medical isolation for infection control reasons. Children visitors must at all times be accompanied by a responsible adult. Noisy or disruptive children will be asked to leave the patient wards.
Patients placed in medical isolation may only have visitors from his/her direct family household. Family members are requested to follow all instructions given by staff pertaining to wearing a gown, mask, and proper hand washing before entering and leaving the room. Children are strictly forbidden to visit patients who have been placed in medical isolation.
Flowers and plants are not allowed in the ICU patient rooms. Cell phones must be switched off before entering the ICU and usage of cell phones is strictly prohibited.
While SMMC acknowledges the positive effect receiving visitors has on patients’ mental health, well-being, and ultimately their physical recovery, patients, visitors and companions alike are asked to avoid visiting the hospital if they are experiencing any flu-like symptoms. This is in the interest of protecting patients as well as staff.
Patients are only allowed one visitor at a time. Early visitors are requested to have a seat in the main patio until the doors to the patient’s wards are opened for visiting hours. Persons waiting on more information on patients in the Delivery Room or Operation Room are also requested to sit on our open-air main patio until allowed to see the patient or speak to his/her doctor.
Visitors or companions waiting on the patio are kindly asked to not conduct loud telephone calls or watch videos or play music without headphones to avoid disturbing other visitors.
