North Carolina Healthcare Laws
North Carolina’s Medical Care Commission has enacted a rule providing that "a patient has the right to designate visitors who shall receive the same visitation privileges as the patient’s immediate family members, regardless of whether the visitors are legally related to the patient." This rule allows equal hospital visitation privileges for same-sex partners.
