Visitor Tips
Visitors can make an enormous difference for patients. We ask that anyone visiting a patient at Stamford Hospital consider the following:
- If you have a cough or feel unwell, please reschedule your visit or phone the patient instead. Just two visitors at a time are best.
- To respect patient privacy, leave the room during medical discussions or treatments, unless asked to stay.
- The patient may not feel like talking. Please keep visits brief.
- If the patient shares a room, please respect the other patient’s privacy and need for quiet.
Smoking
Please help us maintain a clean-air environment by not smoking. Smoking is prohibited at Stamford Hospital.
