Hospital Visitation Guidelines
To provide the safest environment for our patients, staff and visitors, the following visitation guidelines are in effect. Policies may vary by location or department. Please review the exceptions by Department.
- One support person and up to two visitors are permitted per in-patient (except where noted below) between 10 am and 7 pm. Visitors may change but cannot overlap.
- A support person is an essential caregiver who was previously actively engaged with the patient or is committed to assisting and encouraging activities of daily living and other care needs. A support person is not considered a visitor and is permitted with a patient 24/7.
- Permitted ages: All visitors must be 12 years of age or older.
- Children under age 12 will be permitted in Maternity if the child is a sibling of the newborn. Other exceptions may be made in some cases. Speak to the nurse leader on the patient’s unit.
- Masking: Visitors may be asked to wear a disposable mask and practice physical distancing. The location you are visiting will provide guidance when you arrive.
- Illness: All visitors are asked to self-screen for symptoms of respiratory illness, such as COVID, RSV or flu, and perform hand hygiene before entry. Visitors will not be permitted to visit if ill.
- Checking In: All visitors are required to check in at a reception desk and adhere to guidelines. Anyone refusing to adhere to guidelines will be asked to leave.
- Personal Belongings: Patients and visitors are responsible for all belongings. CentraState Medical Center is not responsible for replacing lost or misplaced items. We recommend you bring only essential items to the hospital and offer the following tips to help keep your personal items secure. View the full patient belongings and valuables guidelines here.
