General Information
DownstateCards are only issued where the person requires ongoing and frequent access to Downstate facilities over a long period of time. In cases where the service involves only limited INFREQUENT and OCCASIONAL access of SHORT duration or where an individual (such as contractor/vendor/ staff) changes frequently, the individual needs to obtain a one-day visitor pass from University Police each time they come to the University Hospital.
