Visiting policy
At Southeast Georgia Health System, we understand that visits from family members and friends can lift the patient’s spirits and may also help speed recovery. Therefore, we support visitation during hours that work best for our patients and their visitors.
Specialized units may have individual restrictions and/or flexibilities for their patients. In addition, children under the age of 12 have more vulnerable immune systems and may be restricted from some patient areas. Please talk with the patient’s nursing team for more information.
Public doors are locked from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the Brunswick Campus and 10 p.m. to 5:45 a.m. on the Camden Campus. During after hours, visitors can leave or enter through the Emergency Care Center waiting areas.
