Learn about minimum visitation requirements in Arkansas.

Please review Visitor Guidelines prior to your visit.

Visitors bring emotional support and enhanced recovery to our patients. To provide a restful and safe environment, we ask that all visitors comply with the following guidelines:

• Be considerate of other patients by keeping noise in room, hallway and waiting area to a minimum.
• Patients may receive visitors either in their room or in the patient waiting areas.
• Only two visitors are allowed in the patient’s room at one time.
• Children under 12 must have adult supervision at all times while visiting. Children may be restricted from certain areas in the hospital to protect vulnerable patients from infection.
• Please refrain from visiting if you have a cold, sore throat or any contagious disease.
  
• Visitors must comply with hand washing and infection control policies as requested.
• Please do not bring food or beverages to a patient unless approved by the doctor or nurse.
• Patient restrooms are restricted to patient use only. Visitors should use public restrooms throughout the hospital.
• Observe “No Visiting” and precaution signs before entering a room.
• Smoking or vaping is not allowed on our hospital campus.
• Please leave the room during tests or treatments, if asked.
• Visitors are asked to use civil language and respectful conduct with staff and caregivers.
• Feel free to use the lounges and seating areas available on most patient floors and in the main lobby.

If a patient is facing an end-of-life prognosis, the patient’s physician may make exceptions so that the emotional needs of the patient and family are met.
