Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
One visitor per patient is allowed in certain areas of the hospital, such as patient care floors, emergency room, or outpatient procedural and testing areas. Please see additional visitation guidelines below.
- Visitors of patients who are here for a short amount of time, such as lab or radiology visits, are encouraged to wait in their car due to restricted waiting room capacity and social distancing requirements.
- Visitation in intensive care units and COVID-19 treatment areas is restricted to accommodate compassionate care needs only. If you have a loved one in one of these areas, we encourage you to use other means of communication such as phone calls or video calls.
- Visitors should be an immediate family member or significant other over the age of 18. Visitors over the age of 65 or any adult with a compromised immune system are discouraged from visiting at this time.
- Visitors will be screened upon entering the facility and on a daily basis if the visitor is staying with the patient overnight. Visitors will also be required to wear a face covering while in the facility.
- Visitors will be required to sanitize their hands when entering the hospital and when entering or exiting patient rooms. Visitors should continue to wash their hands frequently during a prolonged visit.
- Visitors may be required to wear additional personal protective equipment depending on the patient’s clinical status.
- Additional restrictions may apply based on a patient’s clinical status, department activities, or restrictions on waiting room capacity.
While you are here as a visitor, please adhere to the following:
- Remain in the patient room and limit travel outside of the room to a meal break or leaving for the day.
- Wear a face covering at all times when in the facility.
- Sanitize your hands when entering the hospital and when entering or exiting the patient room. Continue to wash your hands frequently during a prolonged visit.
