Late-Night Patient and Visitor Access

UMMC visiting hours are 8 am – 8 pm, with the opportunity for one care partner to stay overnight if checked in by 9 pm.

The main doors of the hospital are closed from 9 pm – 5 am, and the only entrance for overnight visitors is the Emergency Room entrance which is staffed by security.

We understand there are occasions where it is best for the patient and family to have someone arrive at the hospital after 9 pm and before 5 am when the main doors open. Approval for after-hours visits must be obtained by the charge nurse who's overseeing the unit. If you are approved for after-hours visitation in an emergent situation, please report to the Emergency Room entrance, located off of Lombard Street. Security will verify approval and direct you to the unit.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

At the University of Maryland Medical System, we have made fostering equity, diversity and inclusion a guiding principle.
