For visitors at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC)

We want you to feel safe and comfortable when visiting a patient at our hospital. Learn more on this page about the amenities and services we offer our visitors.

Welcome to our hospital

We provide resources to give you the best possible experience during your visit, including access to discounted hotels, around-the-clock spiritual support and multiple ways to stay connected to your loved one.

Information for our visitors

These details are designed to help you best navigate your upcoming hospital visit, helping you plan ahead and set expectations for your stay.

Visitor policy

We offer 24/7 open visiting hours. If you are staying overnight, please arrive by 10:00pm. 

However, there may be times when patient safety and recovery necessitate that we restrict the length of visits or suspend them altogether. 

If you are ill, please do not visit. 

We also have zero tolerance towards aggression. If you demonstrate abusive or disruptive behavior, you will be removed from the property.

Circumstances may allow for specific exceptions to any visitation restrictions described on this page. Those circumstances include religious visitation, as well as a designated support person for a patient with a disability to provide communication assistance with their treatment. All persons entering under an exception remain subject to appropriate infection control protocols.

Spiritual services

As needed, we can provide compassionate spiritual support for you and your loved ones. Our nondenominational chaplains make hospital visits and are always on call. We will do our very best to fulfill requests for specific denominational representatives from the community. However, they may not always be available.

There is also a nondenominational chapel on the second floor, which you can access at any time.

To request spiritual services, speak with a nurse or call volunteer services during regular business hours at (208) 529-6201. After business hours or on weekends, you can also call (208) 529-6111.
