Visiting Hours

Lakeside Medical Center welcomes friends and family of patients.

The safety and comfort of our patients is important. Please follow these guidelines:

• For security, visitors must check in at the front desk. Each visitor gets a paper pass with their photo.

• The main lobby is open from 7 am to 8 pm

• The ER lobby is open from 8 pm to 7 am.

• Children are welcome to visit patients. They must stay with an adult visitor at all times.

• Please do not sit or rest on the patient's bed.

• If a doctor is in the patient’s room, it is for treatment. You may stay if you are helping with the patient’s care. Other guests are asked to wait in the lobby.

• Please do not visit patients if you are sick.

• All patients need rest to heal. Please be quite in the hospital.

• Visitors may use the cafeteria or bring food from outside the hospital.

• Please check with the nurse before bring food for patients. Some patients have special medical diets.

• We encourage a family member or friend to stay overnight with a patient. (Let the nurse know and the patient’s guest will also get breakfast.)

• Lakeside Medical Center is a tobacco-free facility.

Critical Care Unit
