Visitation Update
Visitation hours for adult inpatients is 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. This change increases the number of hours during which visitors are permitted to enter adult inpatient units. Visitation for pediatric patients will remain unchanged.
Compassionate exceptions remain
Beyond these hours, compassionate exceptions apply at any time. Care teams should assess whether they can offer compassionate exceptions whenever appropriate. Examples of compassionate exceptions for all patients, including patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 and persons under investigation (PUI) for COVID-19, may include but are not limited to:
- end of life
- clergy visits and spiritual care needs
- language barrier assistance
- day of discharge
- when a patient is experiencing a challenging situation, such as a life-changing diagnosis, prolonged hospitalization, limited cognitive abilities, etc.
We’re using four new, statewide visitation levels — yellow, orange, red and purple — to protect our patients and caregivers and limit the spread of COVID-19. The visitation levels are based on data about how COVID-19 is spreading, including state and county public health information. If you are visiting a COVID-19 positive patient, you must wear provided personal protective equipment (PPE). Even when you can’t visit in person, we encourage you to stay connected virtually.
These guidelines are being put in place for the safety of our patients, caregivers and community. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note: All visitors must wear a mask, have their temperature taken and sanitize their hands. Visitation guidelines are subject to change if safe physical distancing isn’t possible.
