Welcome to Rhode Island Hospital
For Your Family and Friends
Patient Condition Reports
Our patient information desk will gladly inform those family
members and friends who cannot visit about your condition. The
phone number is 401-444-5421. For patients in specialty
care units, please ask to be connected to the unit. Out of respect
for patient confidentiality, only general condition information
will be given (e.g., good, stable, critical). If you prefer that
absolutely no information be given out, please notify the admitting
center at 401-444-5566.
Visiting Hours and Policies
We understand that visitors have therapeutic value in the healing
process; however, we also recognize the need for patients to have
time to rest and recover. We ask that visitors keep their visits
short and limit the number of visitors to two at a time. We also
ask that visitors not use cell phones while inside the hospital.
Please turn off your cell phone when you arrive.
Visiting hours for all general care units are from 1 p.m.
to 8 p.m. Although we hope visitors will adhere to our visiting
hours, these hours can be flexible. You can make special arrangements
by speaking to the unit's nurse manager if a visitor is unable
to visit during the specified times.
Visiting hours for specialty care units are tailored to meet
the needs of those patients and are usually limited to family
members only. Please check with the unit's nurse manager.
Children under 12 years of age are discouraged from visiting
in patient units. Please check with the unit's nurse manager.
Please do not leave children unattended in the hallway.
