Visiting hours

St. Luke's believes having visitors and family present during hospitalization may help patients in their recovery.  In addition, we recognize the rights of patients to have visitors while they are hospitalized. Visitors are typically welcome from 5 a.m. -  8 p.m., although some units may have more limited visiting policies that meet the need of their patients. In addition, we observe a quiet time from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. each day.
