Policies and Procedures

Visiting hours are 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. Fathers, siblings and grandparents are welcome anytime. Anyone over 12 years old, as long as he or she does not have a contagious disease may visit with the baby at the designated times.

Each room has a telephone. Your family and friends can call by dialing 526-4(and the room number). To help make sure you get an adequate amount of rest during your hospital stay, you cannot receive telephone calls between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. , although you may make outgoing calls during these hours if you desire. 

Your own room

Baptist Regional Medical Center has spacious and comfortable Labor/Delivery/Recovery rooms, a well baby nursery, plus a Level II nursery (with pediatricians on call 24 hours a day).

Babies may stay in the room with mom, or can be lovingly cared for in the nursery by our experienced staff. Each private room also has sleeping accommodations for your primary support person to spend the night.

Patients have the freedom to limit their visitors or request privacy at any time. 

Camera and Photography

Bring the camera, videocamera and plenty of film to capture those first few moments after baby's birth.  Once the baby is born, and your physician says everything is ok, you may photograph or videotape.  Photography or videotaping of medical procedures including the actual birth is not allowed.  After a C-section, only still photography is allowed.
