Visitors, a Special Part of the Healing Process

Thank you for understanding the importance of visitors to the healing process. We know that this can be a stressful time for you and your loved one. We hope that this brief explanation of "how things work" here at Beebe Medical Center will make your visit more comfortable.

Please pick up a Visitor Card, available at each entrance of the hospital, and stop at the Information Desk for the room number and the directions to the patient you are visiting.

Beebe Medical Center Policy
  • Our policy is that patients have no more than two visitors at a time. If there are already two visitors, please remain in the waiting area.
  • Young visitors (children under 12 years of age) are vulnerable to the infections that hospitalized patients sometimes have. Young visitors may also spread childhood diseases to our immune-compromised patients. Therefore, children under 12 are generally not allowed as visitors except under special privilege circumstances. When allowed, healthy children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult and stay in the room of the patient they are visiting.
  • Visitors may be asked to leave the patient's room whenever it is necessary for medical care to be rendered or whenever, in the judgment of the clinical staff, visiting must be limited due to the patient's condition.
  • Please do not bring in outside food or beverages, as many patients are on dietary restrictions.
  • Please do not bring in outside medications without notifying the nurse.
  • Visitors are kindly asked to comply with the evening announcement when visiting hours are over.
Visitor Tips
  • For the health of the patient keep visits short — 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Visitors should use public restrooms available throughout the building.
  • Some patient rooms are semi-private and there is limited space. Overnight stays in these rooms are discouraged due to privacy issues.
  • Please understand that some patients may not wish to have visitors, and they make that request of the staff caring for them.
  • Parents or responsible adults should consider the emotional health of children seeing a loved one who is ill and prepare them for what they may see.
  • When young visitors must accompany a visitor to the hospital, please leave them in the care of a responsible adult in the waiting areas. Have them share their messages of love and the news of their young lives with their loved one by phone, letters, cards, or drawings.

If you need to make special privilege visiting arrangements, please speak to the Charge Nurse, Nursing Supervisor, or call the Patient Relations Representative to discuss this possibility.
