Visitor Restrictions

The health and safety of our patients, caregivers and their families are a top priority. Visitor guidelines are subject to change based on community prevalence of COVID-19.

COVID-19 Confirmed Patients or COVID-19 Patients Under Investigation:

  • No visitors are allowed

NOTE: Patients with disabilities (which is defined by the ADA as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment) who require help with the provision of medical or behavioral health care, activities of daily living, speaking for the patient or keeping the patient safe, may have a designated assistance person if requested. Appropriate PPE must be worn.

All Others:

  • All visitors must check in at the front desk or ER.
  • Visitor guidelines are based on the community level of COVID-19 and are subject to change.
  • A mask or face covering is required to be worn in all areas of our clinic, including exam rooms or hospital.
    • If you do not have one, we will provide you with a mask.
    • If you are unable to wear a mask or face covering due to age, a medical reason, disability or it is necessary to see the mouth for communication purposes, we will discuss options with you.
    • This complies with the public health orders for mandatory face coverings.
  • All visitors will be screened using standardized questions.
  • All visitors will be screened for temperature. Any visitor with a temperature equal to or >100.4 will not be permitted in the facility.
  • If visitors are deemed “healthy” they will receive a dated sticker.
  • No visitors are permitted under the age of 18 unless they are parents of hospitalized children.
    • These restrictions apply to infants and siblings.
    • Other family members or friends will not be permitted to enter the facility or to wait in lobbies or common areas, including any/all areas of the hospital/entity—lobbies, waiting areas, common spaces, chapels, cafeteria, and/or any other area within the care location.
    • These restrictions apply to all care locations, including ambulatory and urgent care facilities.

Exceptions to these restrictions may be made in specific circumstances (including end-of-life care; two parents/caregivers of pediatric patients, if neither is symptomatic; and labor and delivery, including professional support person or postpartum helper) and with prior approval.
