For visitors

Patient visitation rights:

TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center recognizes the importance of family, spouses, partners, friends and other visitors in the care process of patients. We adopt and affirm as policy the visitation rights of patients who receive services from our facilities. While allowing for privacy, care requirements and patient preferences, this visitation policy is designed to allow convenient visiting by family and friends. This facility will not restrict, limit or otherwise deny visitation privileges on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability.

• To be informed of their visitation rights, including any clinical restriction or limitation of their visitation rights.
• To designate visitors, including but not limited to a spouse, a domestic partner (including same sex), family members and friends. These visitors will not be restricted or otherwise denied visitation privileges on the basis of age, race, color, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or disability. All visitors will enjoy full and equal visitation privileges consistent with any clinically necessary or other reasonable restriction or limitation that the facility may need to place on such rights.
• To receive visits from one's attorney, physician or clergyman at any reasonable time.

• To speak privately with anyone he/she wishes (subject to hospital visiting regulations) unless a doctor does not think it medically advised.
• To refuse visitors.
• Media representatives and photographers must contact the hospital spokesperson for access to the hospital.

Circumstances may allow for specific exceptions to any visitation restrictions described on this webpage. Those circumstances include religious visitation as well as a designated support person for a patient with a disability to provide assistance with communication or other necessary components of the patient's treatment. All persons entering under an exception remain subject to appropriate infection control protocols.
