Solely for purposes of visitation policy, the concept of parenthood is to be liberally construed without limitation as encompassing legal parents, foster parents, same-sex parent, step-parents, those serving in loco parents, and other persons operating in caretaker roles. “Family” includes a minor patient’s parents, regardless of the gender of either parent. Members of “family” include spouses, domestic partners, and both different-sex and same-sex significant others. This may include a person(s) not legally related to the individual. Kaiser Permanente Moreno Valley adopts the following definition of “family” for purposes of hospital-wide visitation policy: “Family” means any person(s) who plays a significant role in an individual’s life. The individual may or may not be the patient’s surrogate decision-maker or legally authorized representative. The hospital allows for the presence of a support individual of the patient’s choice (family member, friend, or another individual for emotional support during the course of stay) unless the individual’s presence infringes on others’ rights, safety, or is medically or therapeutically contraindicated.
