We ask visitors to UPMC Presbyterian to observe the following general guidelines, as well as any others noted by your loved one’s patient care team:

Visitors must enter only the area they are visiting.
Use hand sanitizer prior to entering an inpatient care unit. For your convenience, hand sanitizer dispensers are located at the main entrances to the hospital and on each patient care unit.
Wash hands with soap and water prior to entering your loved one’s room.
No more than two people should visit with a patient at one time.
If you have a special request about visiting hours, talk with your loved one’s nurse.
Check with the nurse before offering a patient anything to eat or drink.

For your child's health and safety, we discourage children under the age of 12 from visiting patients. It's best that young children avoid exposure to infection.
An adult must escort any children under the age of 12 at all times. This rule applies in all rooms, lobbies, corridors, public restrooms, and the cafeteria.

Visitors who have an active communicable infection — such as an upper respiratory, viral, or skin infection, or infectious diarrhea — should not visit. Doing so could compromise your loved one’s recovery.
Please cover coughs or sneezes with your arm.
For infection control reasons, we do not permit live flowers, plants, and fresh fruit in critical care units. Check with your loved one’s nurse to see what gifts we do allow.
Please do not use patient restrooms unless your loved one has a private room and gives consent.
If we call for isolation, visitors must take all isolation precautions as the doctor or nurse directs.

We may ask you to leave the room if:
