Changes to UMass Memorial Health Harrington Hospital's Visitation Policy may be put into effect during community outbreaks and in accordance with regulatory organizations.

Immediate family members or designees are encouraged to visit, and we will be flexible with offering you access up to 24 hours per day. Special circumstances may be considered upon request to the ICU nurse.

While general visiting hours are 10 am to 8 pm, less restrictive hours will be considered for special circumstances and needs. A support person or another designated by the patient will be allowed during the patient’s stay.

Patients may have a designated visitor before and after surgery; visitors can wait in any of the unit lounges. Parents of children 11 years and under may go into the operating room for induction of anesthesia; one support person may visit in the post-anesthesia care unit after the patient has stabilized.
