General Information
Visiting at Mile Bluff
Visiting hours for those in Acute Care or in the nursery, are 11 am to
8 pm daily.
Those visiting after 3 pm on Saturdays and Sundays will need to access
the facility through the emergency room entrance.
At Mile Bluff, the comfort, safety and care of patients is the top priority.
You are encouraged to visit your loved ones in the hospital, but are also
advised to consider their needs as well. Visitors play an important role
in maintaining the health and wellness of patients.
Before you arrive for a visit, you are asked to contact the patient you
wish to see. He or she may be scheduled for tests and appointments throughout
the day, or need time to rest after a procedure, so it's important
for you to know when your loved one will be available for visitors.
Please do not visit if you have the flu or other contagious diseases, such
as, chicken pox or measles. Exposure to these and other viruses can pose
a great risk not only to the patient you are visiting, but to other patients
in the facility.
In addition, it's required that all children who are brought to the
facility are supervised at all times, and that all visitors do their best
to control their volumes to ensure it's quiet enough for the individuals
in patient rooms to heal in peace.
Recording Devices

privacy of staff members, is extremely important at Mile Bluff. Because
of this, all patients and visitors are asked not to use recording devices
in public areas of the hospital, nursing & rehabilitation centers,
clinics and other facilities. Devices include equipment such as: cameras,
cell phone cameras, video recorders, audio recorders and any other type
of equipment used to capture or record images and/or sound Your respect
for Mile Bluff's patients, residents and staff members is appreciated.

the facility. Vehicles with courtesy parking passes may park in the lot
located on the far side of the hospital, around the corner from the main
