Baird 5 Pediatrics - Vermont Children's Hospital The visiting policy on our Vermont Children’s Hospital Baird 5 Inpatient Unit strives to balance patient safety and Family Centered Care.  At different parts of the year it becomes less or more restrictive.  Major influences on the policy include presence of flu and Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).                                                                                       
These are the current guidelines for Baird 5 visitation:

  • Parents are part of the health care team and are not considered visitors.
  • 2 visitors at bedside at any time - can be rotated throughout the day and do not have to be the same 2 visitors.
  • Until the end of RSV season, usually late spring/early summer, no visitors under 12 years of age. Exceptions may be made for long-term patients.
  • The unit secretary/licensed nurse assistant at the desk will provide a basic screening for all visitors upon arrival to the floor. They will screen for illness and exposures, and our hand washing policy will be reinforced.
