We recognize that family visitation is an integral part of physical and emotional healing for both the patient and the family member.  It can also be a significant support for our staff members.  With the exception of patients diagnosed with or under investigation for COVID-19, all patients are allowed visitors without restrictions.  Please see below for any specific department guidelines.

• ICU and maternal/child waiting areas will remain closed at this time. Visitors to those areas should be with the patient in the patient’s room.
• Visitors under the age of 16 must be supervised and accompanied at all times.
• Visitors are not allowed for high-risk, isolation, immunocompromised or respiratory patients who are under observation or test positive for COVID-19.
• All who enter must self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms and temperature before entering the hospital. Additional wall thermometers and signage are being placed at entries to aid.
• Visitors who do not pass the self-screening at entry are asked to reschedule their visit until they are symptom-free.
• Social distancing in the cafeteria and open waiting areas and universal masking remain in place for the safety of employees, visitors and patients.
