visitors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult

when you arrive:

bring a picture I.D.

leave cell phones and cameras in your vehicle as these items are not allowed on campus

always remember to sign in upon arrival and sign out upon departure at the main nurses’ station in the living unit

prior to admission:

out-of-town visitors

We can provide you with an up-to-date list of area hotels and other facilities that offer discounts or charge a nominal fee for families of patients. Many of these facilities are within walking distance, or provide free shuttle transportation to and from Clarity Child Guidance Center.
