Visitor Information

Due to an increase of respiratory viruses, and for the safety of our patients, families, and staff, CHOC Hospital will be implementing limited visitors from Jan. 2 to March 31, 2025 (these dates may change due to early or late circulation of viruses).

For hospitalized patients:

• Three individuals (two parents/guardians and an additional individual, which can include a sibling 12 years and older) who are well will be permitted to visit during this time. Visiting hours are from 8 a.m.–8 p.m. daily. Only parents/guardians will be permitted after hours.
• Siblings younger than 12 years are not permitted with the exception of siblings who are breastfeeding. They are permitted in patient rooms for feedings during visiting hours.
• For extended hospitalizations, parents (or patients 18 and older) may complete a visitor restriction exemption form, listing four surrogate names. This form will be provided by your inpatient nurse, who will assist you in completing it. For your child’s safety, there can be no more than three individuals at the bedside. Surrogate names will not be changed for the duration of the admission.
• Proper hand hygiene is necessary each time you enter and exit the patient’s room.
• Patients in isolation and their parents/guardians will not be allowed to visit the playrooms or other patient rooms. Child life specialists have activities that can be brought to the isolation rooms.
• When the patient is visiting public areas in the hospital (given approval from the patient’s physician), please remember to use good hand hygiene and stay at least 3 feet away from others.

For lab, radiology, rehabilitation, surgical waiting area, OPI, specialty clinics or ED visits:

• We encourage one adult to accompany the child. Please avoid bringing extra family members to appointments and waiting areas.

For primary care and urgent care visits:

• No current visitor limitations.

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause and appreciate your partnership in helping us to protect all of the children and families we serve.
