Having a baby is a time of celebration. It also can be an enormous time of fatigue and overwhelming demands. The staff of T4 at WellSpan York Hospital wants its patients to share their exciting time with their family and friends, but while maintaining safety.
Effective Monday, April 29, visitors to T4 will be limited to four at a time. All visitors will need to sign in/out at the security desk and provide some sort of identification.
Visiting hours for the Mother/Infant Center are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Hospital staff members wanting to visit family or friends will be asked to abide by the visiting hours and enter through the Tower elevators. Patients from other units will not be permitted to access T4 for infection reasons.
Visitors are asked to be mindful of the need for privacy during breastfeeding as interruption of feedings can have an impact on breastfeeding success.
Visitors are asked to limit their visits to 30 minutes to ensure the new family gets the rest and education they need.
