The safety of our visitors, patients, employees, and physicians is our highest priority.
To decrease exposure and limit the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), visitation to hospital patients is being restricted. Please review the information in the drop down below from the location you plan on visiting.
While the CDC has recently adjusted general masking guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals, a recommendation remains that everyone wears masks when they are in a health care setting. Therefore, we ask that all our patients and visitors continue to be masked at all times within our facilities.
Check back to this page for updates with the latest visitor restrictions for the different locations.
As we respond to the unique needs of each community related to COVID-19, we continue to monitor the need for pandemic-related visitor restrictions and limitations for our hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities.
Current Visitor Restrictions: The risk of COVID-19 is being managed with proper mask wearing, maintaining safe physical distances, and other infection prevention measures. Healthy visitors are allowed to visit patients in our facilities and clinics as long as they wear a mask at all times and follow other infection prevention expectations. These expectations are intended for all visitors, regardless of vaccine status.
It is recommended that patients in isolation rooms receive only one healthy visitor at a time, and that the visitor always wear appropriate masks and other personal protective equipment. Other non-pandemic related visitor restrictions may be in place, including limited visiting hours in certain locations.
All visitors must:
- Enter through designated entrances to check in and be screened for risk of illness.
- Wear masks covering your mouth and nose while inside the facilities, including in patient rooms. Visitors to isolation rooms must wear appropriate equipment as directed.
- Follow all infection prevention and other CHI St. Alexius Health guidelines.
