While Staying Near ICU - CCU

Overnight Accommodations
We strive to keep the waiting room as quiet and comfortable as possible for family members and visitors. We ask that only two persons per patient stay between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. and that you limit your personal belongings. Please do not bring pillows, blankets or air mattresses from home. After the last visitation of the evening, linens will be provided for family members staying overnight.

Belongings
Anderson Regional Medical Center is not responsible for items left in the waiting area; therefore, family members are encouraged to limit items left there. The patient’s money and valuables should be taken home or otherwise secured upon admission to the hospital. Please see the admissions clerk if you need assistance.
