Visitor Resources

Support from your loved ones is essential to the healing process; therefore families and friends are welcome at Lake Regional. We do ask that visitors work closely with the care team so that our patients receive proper rest and sleep. And, some units might have additional check-in or security procedures to ensure the safety of our patients.

Family and friends should check with your nurse or refrain from visiting if they have cold or flu symptoms or have been exposed to other infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, chickenpox (varicella), meningitis, measles or mumps.

Cafeteria

The cafeteria is located on the lower level of the hospital and is open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. In addition, vending machines are located throughout the hospital.

Cellphones

Cellphone usage is prohibited in areas where telemetry is in use. Signs are posted in applicable locations throughout the hospital.

Gift Shops

The Lake Regional Auxiliary operates two gift/coffee shops, located near the main lobby and near the Emergency Department. The Shoppes offer a variety of gifts and goodies, such as jewelry, baby gifts, candies, books, pastries, coffee, soda, ice cream, microwave meals and more. Fresh flowers also are available.

Public Restrooms

Visitors are encouraged to use the public restrooms throughout the hospital. Bathrooms in patient rooms are reserved for patients to protect their health. To locate a restroom, please ask a staff member or volunteer.
