Visitor guidance
Updated Visitor Guidelines - Maui Memorial Medical Center
Effective May 11, 2023
Our number one priority is the health and safety of our patients, employees, providers, and visitors.
- MMMC general visiting hours are from 6 am to 8 pm, daily.*
- Quiet time hours from 8 pm to 6 am will be observed to promote rest and healing for our patients.
- Children 13 years of age and younger must always be accompanied by a responsible adult (who is not the patient).
- The number of visitors allowed at one time for each patient will be determined by the nursing staff in collaboration with the patient and patient’s family, based on privacy, space and safety.
- Visitation privileges cannot be denied, restricted, or limited based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
- Visitor and masking guidance is subject to change based on COVID community risk levels, a suspected or confirmed COVID activity in the facility, and/or updates to national and local regulation.
*Visiting hours and rules may vary for special circumstances and/or select units/departments, including Obstetrics, Labor & Delivery, Pediatrics, Behavioral Health and Intensive/Critical Care (ICU/CCU). Some units may be unavailable to visitors at certain times.
All visitors must abide by the following visitor guidelines to be allowed entry:
- Face masks are recommended but not required and are available at hospital entrances for visitors.
- All visitors are required to check in with Security at the hospital entrance with a valid identification (ID) to get a visitor badge.
- Visitor badge must be worn at all times while in the hospital.

- Visitors with any other symptoms of illness should not enter the hospital. Please help keep our patients, many who have low immunity, safe and healthy by staying out of the hospital if you are not feeling well.
