Visiting Guidelines

We understand that it is important for you to be able to visit with family and friends while you are in the hospital. Because we want to make this as convenient as possible, we do not have strict visiting hours.

However, we do ask that you are courteous of other patients, and recognize that there are times when the nursing staff may need to ask your family or friends to leave.

Pediatric patients: One parent may stay overnight in their child ‘s room after making arrangements with nursing staff.

Intensive Care Unit: Family only, or by arrangement with nursing staff.

At Concord Hospital – Laconia, we understand that paying for hospital services can be challenging. But cost should not stop anyone from getting the healthcare they need. For that reason, we have a number of programs in place to help you access and pay for the healthcare you need.
