General Visiting
Patient-centered visiting hours have been established. Our patients can visit with loved ones whenever it is convenient as long as the visit supports the comfort, care and privacy of our patients. In some units, visiting hours and the number of visitors may be limited due to the special needs of the patient, or for the privacy of other patients. Please check with the nursing staff for unit-specific information.
Overnight Visiting/Parking
For the security of our patients, visitors, staff and volunteers, the Emergency Department lobby will be the only entrance open between 10:00pm and 5:00am. Overnight visitors must check in with the security guard in the Emergency Department lobby for a visitor badge.
If you plan to enter or exit the hospital between 10:00pm and 5:00am, please park in the Emergency Department lot. An emergency phone will be posted outside the 1st floor Main Entrance for after-hours Security/Operator assistance.
Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone who enters our doors. Thank you for your cooperation.
