Visitor Guidelines (PDF)

To protect our patients, families, visitors, and staff, there are new rules
and safety guidelines.

NO VISITORS

Exceptions:
End-of-life Situations
Special Needs/Intellectual Disabilities
Maternal-Child Services:
- Labor and Delivery: 24-hour visitation for one support person and one Doula with proof or certification card
- Post-partum: one support person, 12pm-8pm,
- Neonatal units: one parent/guardian at a time, 12pm-8pm
- Pediatric patients (under 18 years): 24-hour visitation for one parent/guardian/support person at a time

 

Allowed Visitors

- Must be 18 years or older
- FULLY vaccinated and must show proof of vaccine or a negative COVID test within 72 hours from an official testing site

 

Screening Locations for allowed visitors

- Fully Vaccinated or COVID negative visitors for inpatients or ambulatory surgery will be screened at 445 Lenox Road
- Outpatient Clinic patients with a scheduled appointment must enter with their allowed visitor through the 470 Clarkson Avenue entrance, where they will be screened

 

Potential risks and benefits of the visitor’s presence:

- We are dedicated to the safety of patients, staff, and visitors
- We recognize the role loved ones play in the process of illness and recovery, but visitation is strongly discouraged from visiting patients who are at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19, including older adults, or those with an underlying medical condition
- Visitation poses a risk to the health of the visitor and we urge you to consider visitation by phone or Facetime/video

EVERYONE WILL BE SCREENED BEFORE ENTERING THE HOSPITAL
