Visiting Laguna Honda Hospital

What to do

Visitors are to remove jackets, sweaters, scarves, hats, and other bulky clothing items for inspection.
Visitors are to empty pockets for inspection.
Staff will use a handheld metal detector wand and do a visual inspection.
- If the wand beeps, staff will do a “pat down” search.
- If the visual inspection suggests bulges, items in pockets, or is inconclusive, staff will do a “pat down” search.
Visitors are not allowed personal items
- Visitors may have keys, a phone, or wallet but cannot enter with a bag, purse, or any other larger personal items. There are limited exceptions, such as medical devices or medications needed in an emergency. Items may be stored in a locker, but we encourage visitors to leave personal items at home or stored safely in the car. Laguna Honda is not responsible for any items stored in cars.
All items brought for patients must be inspected or they will not be allowed in the facility.

All visitors are screened the day of the visit.
