Current Visitor Guidelines
Dec. 16, 2022
Patient and Visitor guidance:
Effective immediately.
Masking for patients and visitors is encouraged but no longer required when in registration areas, waiting rooms or during outpatient procedures. Visitors to inpatient hospital units will continue to be expected to mask.
Immunocompromised patients or patients with respiratory symptoms are encouraged to wear masks throughout the hospital.
N-95 masks will be available for immunocompromised patients who desire them at check-in.
Visitors, as before, will be expected to stay away from the hospital if they have any respiratory symptoms.
We will continue to keep our eye on respiratory virus activity. We expect COVID-19 to linger throughout the winter and as we enter flu season the need may arise to tighten up our guidelines. As always, thank you for your continued commitment to keeping our patients and one another safe.
