A hospital visitation authorization allows you to designate who you would like to be able to visit you in the hospital should you become unconscious or unable to communicate yourself.
Under most state law, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender partners are not considered family. Only legal spouses or family members -- not lifelong partners -- can visit you in the hospital.

Hospital visitation rights for married couples allow spouses to visit each other in the hospital, make medical decisions on each other's behalf, and receive medical information about their spouse's condition. These rights are protected by law to ensure that married couples can support each other during times of illness or medical treatment.
It depends on the laws in your State..There are certain circumstances in which a hospital can deny visitation for next of kin for a period of time..Such as if the patient is being held for observation for possible mental illness,or has been admitted for treatment of a mental illness...Mental health Institutions also have different policies than regular hospitals and can in certain cases deny visitation to next of kin for extented periods of time... A hospital may also deny visitation if the patient has been admitted for inpatient drug/alcohol rehabilitation... It also depends on what the hospital/institution considers to be "next of kin" in most cases next of kin means that only immediate family such as mother, father, brother,sister and grand parents of the patient are allowed visitation but Aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces are not allowed unless they are the only family the patient has left.......

To access patient records from Camarillo State Mental Hospital, you would need to submit a formal request to the hospital's medical records department. This request typically requires specific information such as the patient's name, date of birth, and the dates of treatment. Additionally, you may need to provide proof of authorization if you are not the patient. The hospital will then review the request and release the records in accordance with state and federal privacy laws.
