Visitor Information
How to Be Part of the Healing Process
General Visiting Hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week
Patients and their families are at the heart of everything we do at UMC. In support of our long-standing mission to promote family-centered care, UMC now offers extended visiting hours and additional opportunities for patients to spend valuable time with their loved ones. Visitors play an essential role in the healing process, and we encourage family and friends to visit patients during their hospital stays.
Please review the detailed visitor guidelines below. If you have any questions during your visit, please don’t hesitate to ask our team members for assistance. We are always here to help!
