Visiting

So, it's the weekend, and a lot of people are looking forward to visiting Hope. We welcome that, within reason. Please remember that Hope is still in a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. As such, we hope that people will respect our desire to have only adult visitors at this time. This request will help us respect the CICU's mission to enforce proper hand-washing and reduce the transmission of germs to these critically ill patients. Additionally, the CICU has a policy of no more than three visitors at the bedside at a time. If people are coming en masse, please understand that folks may have to take shifts with their visits. We are definitely not trying to discourage people from coming -- we would cherish our friends and family coming -- we just want to make sure people have appropriate expectations of what the visit might be like. That said, come on down!
