Patient Resources
At Adventist Health we strive to give you and your loved ones a safe and healing environment. We offer a number of services and amenities to make your time with us as comfortable as possible. We’re happy to offer amenities that make your stay with us more pleasant.
Visitation
Medical centers in Hanford, Reedley, Selma and Tulare have a liberal visitation policy to encourage your family and friends to be with you during your stay. Please help us continue this practice by valuing the care needs and visitation rights of other patients.
Those visiting patients in semiprivate rooms should be respectful of both patients by:
- Not overcrowding the room with visitors
- Keeping conversations at low volume
- Turning off overhead lights and TVs at reasonable evening hours
Check at the nursing station for unit-specific hours. If you have concerns, please speak with a caregiver or click here to learn more about our visitation policy.
Customer relations
If you should have any issues, please contact your caregiver immediately. We welcome your questions about the medical center, comments about care or suggestions for service improvement. Please feel free to call patient relations at (559) 537-2031 or learn more about resolving concerns by clicking here.
Parking
Patient and visitor parking spaces are designated with white lines. Please do not park in spaces with yellow lines, which indicate restricted parking.
Cell phones and telephones
Cell phones may be used in most areas of the medical center. Please leave your phone off in areas with sensitive equipment. This includes:
- Intensive care unit
- Critical care unit
- Surgery and recovery rooms
We encourage you to respect the privacy of patients by taking your call away from highly populated areas like the waiting room. Most patient rooms have telephones for patient use.
Smoking
Smoking and tobacco use are not allowed at any Adventist Health location, including the medical centers in Hanford, Reedley, Selma and Tulare, medical offices and other sites. This restriction extends to all of our properties, inside and outside.
