How to Contact a Patient
--  
At Daviess Community Hospital, we encourage visits from friends and family as they can be vital to a speedy recovery and serve as a source of reassurance. We request that your visitors observe the following guidelines.


   

  •  

  • To call a patient, please dial 812 254 2760 and ask for the patient by name or room number. Please remember that rest is an important part of recovery, so phone calls to patients after 10 p.m. should be avoided. Routine visiting hours on the Medical/Surgical units are open. Nursing discretion will be used when it is in the patient's best interest.

  • The Maternity area is often a busy place. The new mother and baby need special care that can be time consuming. Rest is also very important after childbirth. This is why we limit visiting hours in the Women's Center Obstetrics Department.


       

  •  

  • Your partner may visit at any time. The baby's grandparents and siblings may visit between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. All other visitors may visit from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. During these hours, the babies will be in the nursery. Please abide by our visiting rules.


       

  •  

  • Visitors to the Intensive Care Unit are permitted for 10 minutes every 2 hours. Special visiting privileges may be arranged through the patient's physician or a nurse.
