Family and Visitor Guidelines
Visitors
Any visitors who have ANY symptoms of COVID-19 are not allowed to enter.
All visitors must undergo hand hygiene and wear a surgical mask (no cloth masks) over the nose and mouth for the duration of the visit. Visitors who are found not wearing a mask during their visit will be asked to leave.
Hospital & Outpatient Clinics
Each patient is allowed to have two visitors in their room at a time with the exception of the departments listed below.
- NICU: Two visitors (must be age 18+)
- ER: One visitor per patient
- Cancer Center: New patient appointments only
- COVID+ or Rule Out Patients: No visitors unless the patient is end of life or requires a caregiver. Patients requiring a caregiver may have one caregiver stay with them. The caregiver may not leave the room once they have entered, must wear a mask for the entire stay, and must sign the COVID+ caregiver acknowledgement form.

Flu Season Restrictions
(typically October - April)
- During flu season, we need your help to keep our patients safe. Please refrain from visiting the hospital if you are sick or experiencing any flu-like symptoms. If you are coming to visit a patient admitted to our hospital, please do not bring family members or other visitors who are sick as they will not be permitted to go up to visit any of our patients. We also will not permit visitors to patient rooms who are under the age of 16 during flu season.
