What are your visiting hours?
Visiting hours are 24/7. However, please remember that patients need their rest. It is best to limit the length of your visit so that your loved one does not become too tired. Some units, such as our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, also request no visitors during the change of shift so that each patient’s healthcare team can focus on the transition of care and your loved one’s needs. During the change of shift, visitors are welcome to wait comfortably in one of our lobby areas. Our Behavioral Health Unit has specified visiting hours in consideration of each patient’s well-being and care schedule. Our Behavioral Health Unit’s visiting hours can be found here: Behavioral Health Services | St Francis Medical Center, CA
