Patient & Visitor

To inquire about a patient’s condition, immediate family members may call the Marcus Stroke and Neuroscience Center anytime using the patient information card provided by the admitting nurse, and speak to the nurse caring for the patient.

Family members should identify themselves and give the patient’s name and ID card number. Condition reports are given only to immediate family members who have the patient’s ID number.

We ask that one or two family members be designated to inquire about a patient’s condition. These family members can then relay the information to others. Friends should contact the family for information about a patient’s condition.

Visitation Changes

We are pleased to share that effective February 17, 2023, Grady Health System visitation hours will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 8 p.m. daily for inpatients, outpatients, and those in our Emergency Room. Exceptions can and will be made together with family and nursing leadership.

ALL visitors must wear a mask covering their mouth and nose at all times (including inpatient rooms) regardless of vaccination status.
