Visitor information and resources

Our patients may have an unlimited number of visitors per day, with no more than two visitors at a time. Additional unit-based exceptions or restrictions may apply. For the health and safety of our patients and staff, physicians and staff reserve the right to limit visitors for some patients. Children of any age are permitted but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Everyone is required to wear a mask to protect patients, visitors, staff and providers.

Wear your mask up to the top of your nose and under your chin — snug and without gaps.

By entering our buildings, you are attesting that the answer is “NO” to these questions:

  • Do you have symptoms of COVID-19, which include: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea?

All patients seeking care for an emergency medical condition, regardless of their vaccination status or ability to wear a mask, will be admitted to the emergency department. We will provide non-mask alternative accommodations.
