The Maternity Department Welcomes All New Mothers
Visitation: Warren General Hospital is limiting visitation to the hours 2pm-6pm and only having 1 visitor at a time. The maternity department will allow the father of the baby (or support person) to be present outside of these hours and involved in the labor and delivery of the baby. We ask that all other visitors come during the visitation hours set by WGH and only immediate family come to visit. We ask if anyone has any symptoms of any illness to stay away so we can protect our patients and staff.
