At Coshocton Hospital, we recognize the important role visits play in a patient’s healing process. A smile and quiet time spent with family and friends can go a long way in calming fears and aiding recovery. That’s why we welcome visitors, depending upon the condition and preference of our patient.
There may be times when visitation is restricted, such as when a patient is in the intensive care unit or is in the emergency room. In these cases, the number and age of visitors may be restricted to protect the patient and allow for appropriate care, since the care, privacy and comfort of 
our patients is our primary concern.
Here is information we hope will be of help to you as you plan your visit.

Patient Condition Reports
When patients arrive at Coshocton Hospital as a patient, we ask them to provide the names of the family members or friends to whom we may release information about their condition.

Public restrooms are located on the first floor near the registration area. There are also restrooms for public use on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors; check at the nurse’s station for the location. For the safety and convenience of our patients, restrooms in the patient rooms are reserved for patient use only.

To help ensure that our patients are getting the proper nutrition to help them heal, we often monitor their meal intake. For that reason, we ask that visitors refrain from eating from the patient’s room tray.

General Information
Cell Phone Use
Cell phones are permitted in most hospital areas with the exception of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We ask, however, that you respect our patients’ need for quiet whenever you are in a patient’s room or the nursing unit hallway. Please silence your phone by either turning it off or placing it in vibrate mode. Coshocton Hospital reserves the right to require you to end your indoor cell phone use if your phone use is causing a disruption for our patients.
Laptop Use
If you have wireless capability in your personal laptop, you are welcome to access the Internet through the hospital’s wireless service. You can gain access to the Internet using the password you can obtain at the nurses' station. If you have a question, please talk with the nursing staff and they will assist you.
Smoking
Tobacco use is prohibited inside the hospital or near any hospital entrances or exits. If you must use tobacco, please proceed to the designated smoking area behind the emergency department parking lot. Any of our staff members would be happy to provide you with directions.
