Visitation
Visitors can be good medicine for patients. Family members and friends are welcome to visit. However, patient care is our primary concern at Mizell Memorial Hospital. In order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours and regulations are established for each unit.
Visiting Regulations
Following are general guidelines for visitors:
Visitors may not smoke in patient rooms or anywhere on hospital grounds. A "No Tobacco Policy" is in effect which includes the entire building, parking lots, sidewalks, and facility-owned property which includes medical office buildings located close to the hospital. We ask that visitors keep the comfort of the patient in mind and limit the amount in the room to no more than two or three visitors at the time. Visitors in semi-private rooms should be considerate of both patients. People with colds, sore throats, or any contagious diseases should not visit patients. Visits should be kept short. Visitors should maintain a quiet environment and avoid unnecessary noise. Visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests or treatments or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient. Children under the age of 12 are discouraged from visiting in a hospital setting. Patients have the right to restrict or refuse visitors. A patient's physician may restrict visitors as a matter of well being for the patient.
