Visitation Guidelines
Main Line Health recognizes the importance of patients having support to help them during their hospital stay. This is one of the reasons we welcome visitors as care partners. We believe care partners and staff support a mutually respectful relationship for all our patients while observing the Main Line Health Code of Conduct.

Visitation is always at the discretion of the patient's care team.

The patient has the right to be made aware of any clinical limitations or restrictions.
