Forbes Regional Hospital

Although visits from family and friends are an important part of your recovery, adequate rest is also necessary. Your health is our primary concern. The needs of the patient are a priority in decisions made regarding visiting. Patients who wish to limit visitors should let the staff know.

General visiting hours are from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Family and friends are encouraged to visit during these times, unless you request otherwise. Please let your nurse know if you would like alternative visiting arrangements.

Visitors must enter the hospital through the Visitor Entrance on the second level. We would appreciate only two visitors in the patient room at any one time. Children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
