Norton Children’s Hospital Visitor Guidelines

• Primary caregivers: Up to four primary caregivers who are age 18 or older (unless they are the parents/guardians of the patient) may visit. Primary caregivers will have their fingerprints registered with the visitor management system, allowing entry to the unit and visits with the child at any time.
• Siblings: Up to four siblings ages 3 to 17 are welcome to visit during standard visiting hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Siblings are not permitted to visit the neonatal intensive care unit during cold and flu season.
• Secondary caregivers: Up to six secondary caregivers, including those under age 18, may visit between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Secondary caregivers must be over age 18 to visit the neonatal intensive care unit.
• Pastoral visits: Up to two members of clergy are welcome to visit during standard visiting hours, 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Special Circumstances

• Our social workers will work with families who have circumstances that permit an exception to the visitor rules. They will consult with families, care teams and our infection prevention department if a family has a special situation.
