Quiet Time for Our Patients

Share this

Quiet Time Our goal is to provide the best possible hospital experience to patients, their family members and other visitors. Research has shown that a quiet environment enhances healing so we’ve implemented daily “Quiet Time” from 10 pm to 5am. Please help us provide a quieter healing experience by following these suggestions:

  • Turn your cell phone to vibrate mode.
  • Speak softly.
  • Refrain from loud conversations in patient areas.
  • Lower the TV volume or use earbuds when watching TV.

For your comfort, please note that sleeping kits (eye mask and earplugs) are available to our patients if requested. Please ask your nurse for a sleeping kit if desired. 

Thank you in advance for helping us heal humankind, one patient at a time, through Quiet Time.
