Visiting a Patient
At OSF Saint Katharine, we know how much your presence means to a loved one who is in the hospital. Here is a quick look at essential information that you, as a visitor, need to know.
- Before 6:00 pm, visitors are encouraged to park in Lots #1 or #2 and enter through Doors #1 or #4.
- After 6 p.m. and on weekends, visitors should enter and exit through the OSF Saint Katharine Emergency Department, located just off of First Street. It is recommended to park in the Commerce Towers parking lot.
- To ensure the well-being of our patients, some units, such as our ICU, may limit visitation.
- Visitation for certain patients may be limited, based on their individual needs. Please check with the unit where your friend or loved one is a patient before visiting.
- OSF Saint Katharine is a smoke-free campus for its patients, staff, and visitors.
- People with colds, sore throats or any contagious diseases should refrain from visiting.
In the spirit of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the Mission of OSF HealthCare is to serve persons with the greatest care and love in a community that celebrates the Gift of Life.
