Visitors can be good medicine for patients.  Family members and friends are welcome to visit.  However, patient care is our primary concern at Johnston Memorial Hospital, and, in order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours have been established.

 Medical/Surgical Floors:

10 am to 8 pm

 Critical Care Unit:

9 am to 1 pm

3 pm to 6 pm

8 pm to 10 pm

 Women’s Pavilion:

11 am to 8 pm

Children ages 12 and under are not permitted to enter the Women’s Pavilion, unless they are an immediate family member of a patient.  This rule is intended to protect newborn babies who are highly susceptible to illness.   Communicable diseases commonly carried by children pose a health risk to newborns.   Also, the health of a newborn can be threatened if the baby comes in contact with a child who has recently received immunizations.   

Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU): 

9 am to 9 pm

NICU visiting hours could be subject to limitation based on the health condition of the baby.
