Sharp Mary Birch visitor policy
At Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns, we recognize that connecting with loved ones is an important part of any hospital stay. We ask all visitors to please follow these guidelines:
All visitors will be screened for signs of illness at the reception desk on the first floor. They will be given a visitor sticker each day they visit, which must be worn in a visible place at all times while in the hospital. Visitors are required to discard the sticker at the end of their visit.
Only 3 visitors are allowed at the baby’s bedside at one time.
