  • Permission from the nurse manager is required to stay with a patient overnight
  • Respect a patient’s right to privacy, which is protected by Federal law
  • Staff can only provide condition updates to patients designated representatives. Patient's do have the option of providing a "pin" number to family/significant others with whom the patient chooses to receive additional information.

  • Visitor privileges will not be restricted, limited or denied on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

Our staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to our patients. Please show them the respect they deserve as they carry out their duties. Visitors who do not comply with this Code of Conduct will be asked to leave UPMC property and may be escorted by security. Thank you for your cooperation.
