Enhanced visitor precautions

We understand the importance of parental support, education and bonding throughout a child’s hospitalization. Our goal is to ensure your loved one feels supported throughout their care journey while also enhancing protection for our patients, caregivers and visitors.

After a thorough review by our clinical team, our pediatric and NICU visitation policy requires all approved over the age of 16 to use designated entrances, wear a mask and be screened upon arrival.

Contact the unit you will visit to learn more about its visitation policy as additional restrictions may apply.

Our other visitation restrictions remain in effect for our emergency department and COVID-19 patients during this time, except in the following circumstances:

  • Pediatric/neonatal care patients
  • Laboring/post-partum patients
  • Patients undergoing surgery or procedure
  • Patients with difficulty understanding or making decisions (i.e., may lack capacity)
  • Patients may be disabled or may be impaired
  • Patients receiving end-of-life care
  • As otherwise determined by local facility leadership

Please contact the facility you will visit to learn more about its visitation policy.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping to keep our patients, caregivers and visitors safe.
