The provisions below are to protect our patients and staff while allowing visitation and support.
Policy Provisions:
- Visitation is allowed between 9:00am and 6:30pm.
- To promote a healing environment for patients, and protect our staff, all family and visitors are asked not to enter the hospital or clinics if they are unhealthy, including vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory symptoms, sore throat or a fever within the last 24 hours.
Recognizing the essential role that family and visitors play in a patient’s care; patients on isolation precautions are allowed visitors.*
