For Visitors

Florence Community Healthcare has a flexible visiting schedule. However, we encourage visiting hours that will promote rest and patient healing. Before visiting, please consider the privacy, emotional and healthcare needs of the patient. 

General Guidelines:

• Please wash your hands before and after visiting patients.
• At times, it may be necessary to limit the number and frequency of visitors to protect the patient’s health and need for rest.  We ask you to please respect the recommendations of the physicians and other medical staff who care for our patients.
• Patients have the right to participate in decisions regarding visitors.
• During times of patient care, visitors may be asked to leave the room for the privacy and confidentiality of the patient
