need and/or preference, the nursing supervisor or the nurse caring for the
patient may curtail visiting hours for that patient.
Visitors may seek assistance from volunteers at the Information Desk in the
main lobby during business hours for directions to patients' rooms. After hours,
patient room information may be obtained by telephone connection from the information
