Everyone will have their temperature taken. No one may access the building with a temperature of 100.4 or higher – the CDC’s definition of a fever.

Inpatient

All visitors must be free from cough, fever and any other illness symptoms

No visitors under the age of 18

Visitors limited to 1 per room

Hours every day 10am – 6pm

Further restrictions may apply by department

Outpatient

Masking required for anyone with cough or fever

Recommendation is no person under the age of 18 enter unless receiving testing

Please note: Some entrances into the hospital have been closed for the same purpose. The public will need to use the main Welcome Center entrance or the Emergency Room entrance.
