Visitor Information


We believe is that the presence of family and friends helps the healing process. Therefore, if you have a loved one staying at Southern Regional, we encourage you to visit them during their stay. However, because our patients are here to get well, we politely discourage visiting by persons who have colds or infections. Visitors should be limited to two at a time, and we request that visitors not eat in the patient rooms. Visitation by young children is not encouraged. Visitors under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Patient Room Telephone Numbers

Each of the comfortable patient rooms at Southern Regional includes a telephone with a phone number which can be dialed directly from outside the hospital. Family and friends may telephone a patient's room by dialing 770-909-2 + the last three digits of the patient's room number (example - If a patient you are trying to reach is in room 234, you should dial 770-909-2234). Because our patients need rest, calls will NOT ring to a patient's room between the hours of 9:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
