Visiting Guidelines
Holy Cross Hospital provides a caring and healing environment for each of our patients. We know that patients benefit greatly from the loving support of visitors who help them on their way to recovery. We kindly ask that visitors abide by our Visiting Guidelines to ensure the well-being and safety of all our patients.
- Holy Cross Hospital has open visiting hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The medical and nursing staff may make exceptions for visiting based on the patient’s condition and to best meet the patient’s needs. Some units have specific criteria for visiting patients. To confirm visiting guidelines or discuss special circumstances prior to your visit, please call 301.754.7000 and ask to speak with a nurse at the nurses' station in the hospital department you plan to visit. Please discuss overnight stays with the patient’s nurse or nurse manager.
- Visitor badges are distributed at the information desk and must be displayed at all times while in the hospital.
- Children under 12 years of age must be under the direct supervision of an adult at all times while visiting the hospital.
- In consideration of patients sharing semi-private rooms, please limit visitors to two persons at a time.
- If a caregiver needs to treat a patient, to ensure the privacy of the patient at all times, we request all visitors to leave the room during a procedure until the treatment or procedure is completed.
- We ask visitors who have had recent exposure to a communicable disease or exhibit signs and symptoms such as fever, undiagnosed rash or cough, or nasal discharge, to postpone their visit until they are healthy.
- To protect everyone, please wash your hands before and after coming in contact with patients.
