Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
Effective Wednesday, July 28, we are restricting patient visitors to one (1) immediate family member, partner, or significant other who is 18 years or older. Visiting hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
All individuals entering the building must enter through the emergency room entrance and wear a mask or face covering. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we must take this necessary step to ensure the safety of our patients, staff, and our community.
All visitors are asked to practice infection prevention:
- Sanitize hands when entering the hospital and when entering or exiting patient rooms.
- Cover coughs or sneezes with elbow or a tissue and dispose of used tissues in the trash.
- Sanitize hands after coughing or sneezing.
If someone has traveled from a high-risk area for COVID-19; had contact with a person known to be infected with COVID-19; a cough, fever or difficulty breathing; they will not be allowed to visit unless seeking medical care themselves.
Patients for ancillary testing (i.e., labs, X-ray/imaging, PFT, EKG, etc.) and/or outpatient surgery will need to enter through the emergency room entrance as well.
We truly appreciate your understanding and support!
Stay safe and wash your hands, thank you!
Numerous precautions are in place to ensure you can safely receive the medical services you need.
- "Self Check" stations will be available at entrances for visitors to screen for symptoms prior to entering our hospital.
- Face masks are worn by everyone inside the hospital – patients and employees – and our caregivers are using other appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) and washing hands before and after caring for every patient.
- Our normal deep cleaning processes are already intense and designed to protect people in our hospital, but we have enhanced all cleaning protocols with extra measures and increased frequency, including disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and all patient care areas.
- Patients who are undergoing elective surgeries and other discretionary procedures are screened and cleared before coming to the hospital for their appointments.
- We will continue to maintain a NO VISITOR policy for COVID-19 positive patients.
