Visitors

Two adult caregivers may accompany the child for surgery. Please visit this page for more information regarding visitor policy and guidelines.

During surgery

We ask that at least one caregiver remain in the designated waiting area at all times while the patient is in our care.

Out of consideration for those who are unable to eat or drink prior to surgery, family members and visitors are not allowed to eat or drink in waiting rooms. There is a specific hallway near the waiting room where families are able to eat and drink.

Outpatient discharge

A parent or guardian must accompany a child home after outpatient surgery.

Overnight stay (hospital admission)

Some children may require a hospitalization stay after their surgery. If that is the case for you and your child, after your child recovers from surgery, your child’s recovery room nurse will escort you and your child to your own private room on the inpatient unit.
