At Franklin Regional Medical Center, the healthcare needs and comfort of our patients come first, and we ask for the understanding and cooperation of all visitors in meeting those needs. Visitors should enter and leave the hospital quickly and as quietly as possible. Visits should be short, comforting and reassuring to the patient. Visiting hours are between 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. daily, except in specialty areas. Please limit the number of visitors to two per patient at any time. Children may not be left unattended in the waiting rooms.
Many patients have very low resistance to common infections. Visitors with cold symptoms (sneeze, cough, etc.) are asked to avoid visiting. At times it may be necessary to restrict visitors for a particular patient. A "Precaution" sign will be posted on the patient's door. If you have any questions about these precautions, please ask the nurse before you enter the room.
Patients can receive calls between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The main number is (919) 496-5131. Calls after 9:00 p.m. or prior to 8:00 a.m. will not be forwarded to patient's rooms. All calls will be transferred to the Nurse's Station. It will be determined by the nurse if the call may be transferred to the patient.
Franklin Regional is pleased to offer CaringBridge (http://www.caringbridge.org) The is a free website so patients and families can stay in touch with loved ones.
