Visiting Hours

We ask that the number of visitors be limited to two at a time per patient.  Children under 14 are not allowed to visit patient rooms, with the exception of the Maternity Unit, where siblings may visit their new family member(s), and the Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. In all circumstances, children must be accompanied by an adult.

It is the policy of Peconic Bay Medical Center to provide an environment that promotes healing and a positive experience for all patients and visitors.  Patient visitation is an integral part of a patient's hospitalization and can enhance the patient experience.  The Medical Center fully supports the right of visitation.  Consideration for extended visiting hours can be made in coordination with Nursing. 

Visiting Hours are as follows:

General
11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Maternity

Patient Condition Information

Our top priority at Peconic Bay Medical Center is caring for our patients and allowing them to heal. With that in mind, we ask that family members and friends refrain from calling the Patient Care Units for patient information.

By law,  our patients' confidentiality and privacy must be protected. So while we understand your concern about your family member or friend, Medical Center staff is not permitted to reveal information about a patient's condition over the phone.

Please review our Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Notice.

Flowers and Gifts

Flowers and gifts from friends and relatives are always a wonderful surprise for patients.

Peconic Bay Medical Center Auxiliary Volunteers operate The Bay Gift Shop, located just off the Main Lobby. The Bay Gift Shop is stocked with stuffed animals, jewelry items, cards, baby gifts, personal items, candy, snacks,  flowers and more. Proceeds from Gift Shop sales benefit the Medical Center through Auxiliary donations.

The Bay Gift Shop is open every day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well as some evenings until 8 p.m.

Please note: Due to safety regulations, latex helium balloons are not permitted in the Medical Center. Mylar balloons are permitted in patient rooms, except in the Intensive Care Unit. Flowers and plants also may not be taken to the Intensive Care Unit.
