Visitor Guidelines

Visitors at the bedside are limited to two at a time.  Volunteers are stationed at the Information Desk in the lobby to assist in directing your visitor to the appropriate room.  When a volunteer is not at the Information Desk, visitors may use the house phone provided and dial “0” for assistance in finding a patient’s room number.  We encourage all visitors to follow visitor limitations in consideration of other hospitalized patients.

Visitor Parking
Parking at the GSH is available in the main lot adjacent to the front entrance of the Hospital or in the parking lot at Fourth & Walnut Streets (entrance on Fourth Street). Complementary valet service is available to patients and visitors at the GSH Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
