St. Vincent’s Medical Center welcomes and encourages family and friends to visit patients.
If the patient permits, we believe that spending time with loved ones is an important part of the healing process.
For the safety of our patients, their caregivers and visitors, we ask you to limit visits to the hours specified below. Times and rules vary depending on the unit you are visiting.
Friends and relatives may call the hospital's patient information line at 203.576.5432 anytime between 6:00 AM – 9:00 PM to find out a patient's room and telephone number.
Hartford HealthCare does not deny, restrict, or otherwise limit visitation privileges on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
