Visiting a Patient

At OSF HealthCare Little Company of Mary Medical Center, we understand that visits from family and loved ones are essential to our patients while they are in the hospital. We also recognize that their presence is important to the healing process.
Visiting A Patient

For these reasons, we have adapted a generous and welcoming visitation philosophy. We do ask that you observe the daily visiting hours listed below, however if you need to make arrangements outside these hours please do so with the patient's nurse.

Daily Visiting Hours

Daily visiting hours are between 8 A.M. and 8 P.M.

We ask that visitors observe the following policies:

  • For the safety of our patients, please refrain from visiting if you are ill.
  • Only two visitors per patient at any one time. Passes must be produced. Passes are obtained at the Visitor Reception desk in the main lobby.

Exception

  • Only two visitors per patient at a time. Children under 18 are not permitted in patient areas.
