Visiting Hours

At St. Joseph’s Hospital we believe that having a baby is an exciting time for you and your family. The staff in Maternal Child Services welcomes you. We will do everything possible to make this a wonderful experience.

You can help us by not allowing any adult or child with an illness such as a cold, the flu, or a cold sore visit you. They cannot visit if they have been exposed to a disease such as the chicken pox. Everyone must wash their hands before touching the baby.

For safety all units are locked. To enter any unit press the intercom button once. The staff will ask you who you are here to see. Then the doors will be opened by remote control.

Labor partners are chosen ahead of time by the mother. Partners should learn about labor and delivery by going to childbirth classes or by reading books. Partners give support and comfort to the mother in labor. Labor partners should keep other family and friends informed.
