Critical Care Services at Parkwest Medical Center

Guidelines for Visiting the Critical Care Units at Parkwest Medical Center 

When you have a loved one receiving critical care services through Parkwest Medical Center, we want you to feel safe and comfortable, knowing they’re getting the very best care possible. 

We also want to inform you of some important guidelines to follow, when your loved one is under our care at Parkwest Medical Center’s critical care units. This way, you can support us in our mission to deliver the best possible care to our patients in need. 

We ask to to please observe the following guidelines for patients in our critical care units:

• Patients in the CCU cannot receive live flowers or balloons, because the allergens can affect their recovery. A great way to send your thoughts to a loved one in our CCU is by sending an electronic greeting card. These cards are delivered daily by hospital volunteers.
• Visitors under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times (not the patient).
• We ask that patients’ belongings (clothing, electronics, valuables, etc.) be taken home with family when the patient is admitted to our unit. Not only will this help keep personal belongings safe, it also helps our staff keep the surrounding environment clean and safe for our patients.
• Patients in CCU may have two visitors at a time.

If possible, please designate one person from your family to serve as the primary point-of-contact for updates and communication about your loved one’s care. If you’re calling our unit for an update about your loved one, please be prepared to provide the PIN for the patient to receive any information.

We thank you in advance for adhering to our critical care rules and guidelines. We appreciate your partnership in our efforts to provide the best quality care and support to our critical care patients at Parkwest Medical Center.
