Visiting a Surgery Patient

Please see our surgery visitation policy.

Guidelines for visiting a patient after surgery:

• Minimize talking as a courtesy to resting patients. 

• Woman's has several private designated waiting areas for visitors, including family lounges and public areas. Due to safety and privacy concerns, please avoid waiting in the hallways of patient care areas.

• Do not bring food or coffee into the room. Food smells can make the patient feel queasy. 

• Promote rest by limiting light, noise and touch. Do not turn on the TV unless the patient requests. Turn off or down ringers on all phones. 

• We do not recommend bringing infants or children to visit the day of surgery.
