Visitor Guidelines
We encourage visitors for emotional support and recovery. To provide a restful and safe environment, we ask that all visitors comply with the following guidelines:
- Observe “No Visiting” and precaution signs before entering the room.
- Please clean your hands upon entering the room.
- Be considerate of other patients by keeping noise to a minimum, especially at night.
- Refrain from visiting if you have a cold, sore throat or any contagious disease.
- Do not smoke anywhere on Madison Hospital property.
- Respect the patient’s privacy by leaving the room during tests or treatments if asked.
- All visitors should remain in the patient room or in designated waiting areas. For patient comfort and safety, please keep the hallways clear.
Patients
Bring insurance card(s), driver's license, a list of all current medications, personal toiletries and night clothes for overnight stays. Do not bring valuables, jewelry or excessive cash with you. If absolutely necessary, valuables may be stored for safe keeping. We cannot be held responsible for any personal property kept in your room, including eyeglasses, dentures and clothing.
Smoking
Our Staff
During your stay, you will come in contact with physicians, nurses and other members of our team such as dietitians, physical therapists and lab technologists. Each staff member should be identified with a hospital badge. The staff at Madison Hospital wear color-coded uniforms so you can easily identify who is coming and going from your room. Nurses always wear olive-colored scrubs.
