Visitation
Raritan Bay Medical Center welcomes your family and friends and tries to make their visits pleasant. However, our primary responsibility is the well-being of our patients, and so we ask you to adhere to the following guidelines.
At either location, all visitors must obtain a pass at the information desk in the main lobbies. Visitors are limited to two per patient at any one time. Unless special permission is obtained, children under 12 may only visit the maternity unit.
Food, beverages, and medications may not be delivered to patients without the approval of the nurse. If visits are not in the best interest of a patient’s recovery, physicians may order passes withheld.
