The changes go into effect on Oct. 5. Starting then, each patient will now be allowed to have two visitors a day, but they must be 12 years or older. One of the two visitors will be able to stay overnight.
Visiting hours will now be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Also, patients who are getting surgery that day can have two adult visitors on site until they are discharged.
