Family members and friends can be an important part of the healing process, and we want visitors to feel welcome at Otsego Memorial Hospital. Patients need rest to heal properly, so we ask that you only visit during our designated visiting hours.

General Visiting Hours

Hours: 11 am to 6 pm

Spending the night is discouraged because patients and visitors need to rest. Special visiting arrangements may be made under certain circumstances.

After 6 pm, all visitors are required to check in at the Emergency Department registration desk. The hospital’s security policy requires any visitors in the hospital after 7 pm to wear an identification badge. Badges can be acquired at any nurse's station.

How to be a Good Visitor

Thank you for supporting your loved one during their hospital stay. Here are a few simple rules to follow:

  • Please be considerate of all our patients by keeping your visit short – 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Limit the number of visitors in the room to two at a time.
  • Keep volume on radios, TVs, and voices low.
  • Do not sit or place coats, purses, or other articles on the patient’s bed.
  • To avoid spreading germs, do not use the patient’s toilet facilities, or eat and drink from the patient’s tray.
  • If you are sick or know that you’ve been exposed to communicable disease, do not visit until you’re well again.
  • Some patients are on restricted diets, so be sure to check with the nurse or physician before bringing any food or treats when you visit.
