Patients Privacy and Rest
While family support is important to the healing process of the patient, please keep in mind the patient’s need for rest, quiet and privacy. To maintain a restful environment, we suggest the following guidelines:

Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.
No more than two visitors are allowed at a time.

Please respect all "no visitors"and "isolation"signs on a patient’s door. These are ordered by the physician for the patient’s benefit.

If requested to leave the room, please do so without hesitation.
If the door is closed, please knock before entering.
When visiting a patient in a semi-private room, respect the privacy of the other patient by speaking quietly and limiting the length of your visit.

If you have a cold, fever, sore throat or other contagious illness, please do not visit.
Staying Overnight with Patients.  Occasionally relatives stay overnight with patients. Lounge-a-beds are available in each private room.

Telephones
All patient rooms are equipped with bedside telephones at no charge. Callers may reach you by dialing (225)658-4 followed by the room number, or by calling the hospital switchboard at (225)658-4000. No incoming calls are forwarded to patient rooms after 10 p.m.  Local calls may be placed by dialing "9"plus the telephone number. All patients and visitors can reach an outside operator to make collect or credit card calls by dialing (9)-1-800-CALL-ATT or (9)-1-800-COLLECT.
