Visiting Hours
Visitation hours are generally between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. After 9 p.m., visitors must enter via a designated hospital entrance and go through a hospital-specific visitor identification process.
The Guthrie Clinic’s visitation practices are non-discriminatory and do not restrict, limit, or deny visitation on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability. A patient has the right, subject to their consent, to receive the visitors they designate, including but not limited to a spouse, domestic partner (including a same-sex domestic partner), another family member, or a friend, and it is their right to withdraw or deny such consent at any time.
Visitation may be restricted or limited when it is deemed clinically necessary and/or as required by federal/state/local regulations. For example, visitors with fever or flu-like symptoms or who have an acute or communicable illness/condition are not permitted to visit.
Visitors are subject to all relevant policies of the hospital and of The Guthrie Clinic and may be asked to leave if their behavior warrants (such as: not following Guthrie’s Tobacco-free Environment policy, displaying violent behavior, or not following an infection prevention policy).
Some departments have additional visitation procedures:
Surgical Services:
Children may have one or both parents/guardians with them at all times pre-and post-operation. Visitors are not permitted in the Operating Room, with the following exceptions:
- A support person for cesarean sections, unless being performed under general anesthesia.
- A parent of a child, when deemed necessary, until anesthesia is administered.
- A patient with special needs who is calmed by the presence of their guardian or caretaker.
Guthrie Weapons Policy
Guthrie is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for our patients, caregivers and visitors. We appreciate your cooperation and support of this effort.
Guthrie policy prohibits carrying or transporting firearms or weapons on our property. This includes but is not limited to switchblades, hunting knives and pepper spray.
Patients at Guthrie clinics and visitors to any Guthrie location who bring weapons will be asked to remove the weapon from the property.
Patients who bring a weapon to one of our hospitals will be asked to turn it over while in our care. Law enforcement may be called, depending on the type of weapon.
Thank you for leaving your weapons at home and for helping us create a safe environment for healing.
