Frequently Asked Questions
Can you come to the ICU?
Yes, we can visit patients in the ICU. We adhere to all hospital visitor policies and sanitation protocols.
What if the patient doesn't have their ID?
If the patient's ID is lost or sent home, we may be able to use two credible witnesses who know the patient and have their own valid IDs. Contact us to discuss this option.
Do I need to be present?
Family members do not necessarily need to be present if the patient is alert and capable of signing, but it is often helpful.
