Patients & Visitors

We allow for open visitation based on each patient’s needs for rest and comfort. Please observe the visiting guidelines posted in the unit, and quiet hours after 8 p.m.

When Not to Visit
While well-meaning family and friends can be a source of support and comfort to patients hospitalized at KRMC, there may be times when it’s better to not have visitors. The patient may want to rest, or may need privacy for a procedure. In addition, please don’t visit the hospital if you are ill.

We understand that sometimes it provides comfort for a patient to have his or her spouse stay overnight. Please discuss this option with the patient’s nurse.

To call a patient:
If you know the patient’s room number, dial (406) 751-6700.
If you do not know the patient’s room number, dial the switchboard (406) 752-5111, and ask to be transferred to the patient’s room.
