Patient Information
Volunteers at the lobby information desk and personnel on the patient information phone line will give your family and friends a brief description of your condition, unless you ask that this information be withheld. If you ask that no information be released, no one (even family) will be given information about you. Any additional personal information about your diagnosis and treatment must come from your physician, and this information is only available to members of your immediate family whom you designate to receive it. Medical staff and associates at The Christ Hospital strictly observe your right to privacy and will protect the confidentiality of your disclosure and medical records.
Patient rooms can be reached through the hospital operators or by dialing the number on your telephone. Since patient room assignments may change due to changes in condition, your relatives and friends may want to check with the information desk in the lobby for your current room number when they are visiting. For your safety, operators do not give out room numbers. To reach the operator, please call 513-585-2000.

Visiting Hours
As a part of its commitment to a family-centered environment, The Christ Hospital holds minimal restrictions on visiting hours. Time with relatives and friends is considered part of a patient’s therapy and is welcome and encouraged, and we believe that patients rest better when they have the freedom to choose their own visiting hours.
The Christ Hospital encourages a family member to stay the night when a patient is in a private room and every effort will be made to provide sleeping accommodations for them to do so. Visitors of patients staying in a semi-private room will be asked to leave at a reasonable hour.
We ask visitors of patients on the behavioral services floor to observe the following visiting hours:
Monday - Saturday, 4:30 - 8 p.m., Sundays & Holidays, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
For safety reasons, visitation may be limited when the patient is in isolation precautions due to an infectious disease. In the event of these extenuating circumstances, a nurse will consult with the infection control practitioner regarding visitation.
Visitor Banking
Automatic bank machines, located in the lobby, offer a variety of banking services.
Family Surgical Lounge
If you’re scheduled for surgery, two members of your family may wait in the family surgical lounge from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays. They should register when they arrive in the lounge. Volunteers who staff the lounge will escort them to meet with your physician after your surgery. Have your family follow these instructions unless your physician gives you others.
Visitor Lounges
Visitor lounges are located on most patient units, or in the hospital lobby.
Visitor Parking
