At Wamego Health Center, we believe that including loved ones and caregivers in the healing process enhances our patients’ hospital stay and recovery.
Visitation hours at Wamego Health Center are from 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. WHC allows patients to have visitors of their choice including a spouse, domestic partner (including same-sex domestic partners), family members, friends or other individuals regardless of category of acquaintance. WHC does not restrict, limit or deny visitation privileges based upon race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability. WHC allows visitation of children who are 12 years of age and younger, as long as they are accompanied by a responsible adult. It is Wamego Health Center’s philosophy that children help to provide a healing presence for our patients and families.
The Health Center may refuse visitation to protect patient privacy, ensure safety, or manage infectious outbreaks. These measures, while difficult, prioritize the health of patients and staff, particularly during critical situations.
