Parking
Patient/visitor parking is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The primary patient/visitor parking lot is located across the street from the hospital's main entrance. Overflow parking is available both to the West (left) side of the hospital and the South, beyond Diagnostic Radiology Associates of Wisconsin building. These parking lots have a combined capacity for 240 vehicles. Patients and visitors are cautioned not to park in reserved areas.

Smoke-Free Campus
Lakeview Medical Center is a tobacco free campus.  The decision has been made to fulfill the hospital’s mission to improve the health of our patients and community by providing high-quality care that meets the needs of all people.  To do this, we must make every effort to preserve health and prevent illness. In addition, the decision to become tobacco free was led by consistent feedback from patients, families, medical staff and employees who believe a tobacco free campus will:

• Provide a healthy work environment for employees, patients and families
• Assist employees and patients in improving their own health
• Keep Lakeview Medical Center in the forefront for pursuing excellence in health care
• Enhance the image of Lakeview Medical Center as a health care leader in the community

The policy is not intended to control any person’s choice to smoke outside of the workplace, but rather to create a healthier environment for everyone who comes to Lakeview Medical Center to work, receive care or to visit a friend or family member. 

Visiting Hours
Family members and friends are welcome to visit; however, patient care is our primary concern. In order to enhance the quality of care, specific visiting hours and regulations have been established for each unit. General visiting hours are 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Visiting hours for the Medical/Surgical unit are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Please check at the nurses' station for visiting hours on the ICU and Women's Health units.

Following are general guidelines for visitors:

• Visitors may not smoke anywhere in the hospital.
• Visitors must dress appropriately and must wear shirts and shoes.
• Visitors in semiprivate rooms should be considerate of both patients.
• People with colds, sore throats, or any contagious diseases should not visit patients.
• Visits should be kept short.
• Visitors should maintain a quiet environment and avoid unnecessary noise.
• Visitors may be asked to leave the room during tests, treatments, or when the doctor or nurse needs to see the patient.
• Visitors should check with the nurse before bringing gifts of food or drink to patients.

Waiting Areas
There are several specially designated waiting areas for visitors on each patient floor and on the main floor in the lobby. Specific waiting areas have been designated for families of patients in the Critical Care Units, the Emergency Department and Surgery. During certain hours, a volunteer is on duty in the Surgery waiting room to keep family members informed about the progress of surgery. Coffee is provided in most waiting rooms as well as in our cafeteria located on the ground floor.
