Hospital Policies
We take security very seriously. Our comprehensive policies protect our patients, visitors and employees.
Gift Policies
Visitors should check with the nurse before bringing gifts of food or drink to a patient, as the patient may be on a special diet. If a patient is in the Intensive Care Unit, please check with the unit staff before bringing any gifts, flowers or food.
Security Procedures
Memorial Regional Hospital has dedicated security staff on guard 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sophisticated technology restricts access to certain areas of the hospital. We encourage parents to visit and stay whenever possible, however only parents and visitors approved by the family will receive armbands that allow them to visit access to patients. Visitor passes are required for those without armbands; all visitors are screened before being allowed entry. Similarly, information about a patient's condition is given only to parents and authorized persons.
Smoking Policy
Memorial Regional Hospital is a non-smoking facility. No smoking is permitted in any of the hospital buildings at any time. There are designated smoking areas outside the hospital buildings.
Weapons & Drug Policies
No weapons or illegal drugs are allowed in the facility at any time.
