At MedStar Washington Hospital Center, visiting hours are generally 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily for inpatients, with specific guidelines limiting the number of visitors to two per patient at a time. Other departments, such as behavioral health and pediatrics, have different visitation times and policies[2].
