Visiting Information
General Visiting Hours
12:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Friends can help make your hospitalization more pleasant. However, too many visitors or excessively long visits can counteract the benefits of your hospital therapy. This is why certain regulations concerning visitors and visiting hours have been established. We do ask that visitors leave by 8:00 pm so that you and other patients can relax and get a good night's rest.
Please remember:
- All visits must end at 8:00 pm.
- No more than two visitors per patient at any one time.
- Visitors should not give food or drink to patients without checking with the nurse.
- Cell phone use is permitted in the Hospital. However, to reduce noise and distractions, we ask that visitors go to the lobby or step outside the Hospital to make cell phone calls.
- Visitors should not give food or drink to patients without checking with the nurse.
- Children under 14 years of age are not permitted to visit patient rooms.
- Young children should not be left in the Lobby unattended.

2:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Fathers are welcome at any time. Siblings may visit when accompanied by an adult. No one, except for siblings, under the age of 14 is allowed to visit.

Hudson Valley Hospital Center is accredited by the Joint Commission, a national organization that sets high standards for patient care and safety. PUBLIC NOTICE: The Joint Commission conducts accreditation surveys of all hospitals. The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the organization's compliance with nationally established Joint Commission standards. The survey results are used to determine whether, and the conditions under which, accreditation should be awarded the organization. Joint Commission standards deal with organization quality and safety-of-care issues and the safety of the environment in which care is provided. Anyone believing that he or she has pertinent and valid information about such matters should contact hospital administration. If these concerns are not resolved by the hospital, you may request a public information interview with the Joint Commission's field representatives at the time of the survey. Information presented at the interview will be carefully evaluated for relevance to the accreditation process. Requests for a public information interview must be made in writing and should be sent to the Joint Commission. The request must also indicate the nature of the information to be provided at the interview. Such requests should be addressed to: Division of Accreditation Operations, Office of Quality Monitoring, Joint Commission, One Renaissance Boulevard, Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60181 or faxed to (630) 792-5636 or emailed to
