Patient Visitation Policy

The patient care team at Hospital for Special Surgery supports patient visiting as an opportunity for hospitalized patients to stay close to their relatives and friends. Visitors can play a vital role in healing as well as the continuum of care. Because we are interested in the well being of everyone, our visitor guidelines establish boundaries such that we do not compromise the care, safety and/or privacy of any one patient.

Only two adults (14 years and older) are permitted to visit a patient at one time. We encourage visitors with colds, symptoms of the flu, or other infectious diseases to avoid visiting until recovered.
