When a Loved One is in Our Critical Care Unit

Winchester Hospital provides round-the-clock care for people with life-threatening illnesses and injuries in our critical care unit. We make your loved one our top priority.

It’s understandable if you want to be near your loved one during their stay with us. We welcome visitors but recognize the importance of rest for our patients’ healing. You can learn more about our visitation policies on our Patients & Visitors page.

Often, family members cannot be at their loved one’s bedside. We encourage families to select one individual as a family spokesperson. This person can speak with our nurses by phone and relay updates to other family members and friends.
