Information for Visitors and Patients

Food

Meals and snacks available in the Cafeteria (located in the Center Building) open Monday through Friday. The Terrace Cafe (located in the Prevention Pavilion) is open every day. The Coffee Cart, across from the Terrace Cafe, is open Monday-Friday.

Visiting Hours

Visiting hours are 11 a.m. - 8 p.m., seven days a week, with some exceptions. The number of visitors in your room is limited to two per patient at any time.

Children under age 14 may visit patient rooms under special circumstances. There should be only one child in a room at a time. To spend more time with children, you may use the solarium on your nursing floor.

If someone has a cold, sore throat, infectious disease or fever, they should not visit any patient room as cancer patients may be prone to catching an illness.

The Patient and Family Resource Center offers a range of printed materials about cancer as well as a computerized "cancer help kiosk." Located on the third floor of the Hospital (near the waiting area), the room opens at 8:30 a.m. daily.
