Visitor Information
Visiting hours
Visitors can be good medicine for patients. Family members and friends are welcome to visit. However, patient care is our primary concern at AllianceHealth Madill. Visiting hours are open; however, patient health status may require nurses to limit visitors on some occasions. Please work with the nursing staff on this matter.
Visiting regulations
The following are general guidelines for visitors:
- Visitors may not smoke in patient rooms, or anywhere in the hospital. AllianceHealth Madill is a non-smoking facility and campus.
- Visitors must dress appropriately and must wear shirts and shoes.
- We prefer no more than two visitors at the bedside at one time. Visitors in semi-private rooms should be considerate of both patients.
- People with colds, sore throats, fever 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.
