The Western Pennsylvania Hospital

Although visits from family and friends are an important part of our patients' recovery, adequate rest is also necessary. Our patients' health is our primary concern. To assure that patients are able to get the rest they need, the following visiting hours and guidelines for visitors have been established:

Visiting Hours

• General visiting hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
• Specialty care units designate different visiting hours and restrictions. Please check with the unit's nursing staff for specific visiting hours.
• In some cases, visiting hours may be extended. If an extension beyond 10 p.m. has been granted, the guest will be given a guest identification pass, which must be visible at all times.
   

Visiting Guidelines

• Adults and children over 12 may visit patients.
• We ask that only two visitors per patient be in a room at one time.
• When permitted to visit, children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
• When visiting a patient in a semi-private room, please be considerate of the other patient and his/her guests.
