Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidance
Keeping everyone safe remains our first priority. Based on the number of positive COVID-19 cases in the community, we have made the following changes to our visitor restrictions, effective Friday, December 17, 2021.
For your safety and the safety of patients and caregivers:
- One (1) visitor per patient at a time
- OB patients may have two (2) visitors at a time
- Pediatric and neonatal intensive care patients may have both parents/guardians visit at one time
- Face masks are required at all times
- Visitors must be age 18 or older
- Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms are not permitted to enter unless they are seeking medical care
- Visiting hours for hospitalized patients are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
All visitors are asked to practice social distancing, hand hygiene and infection prevention:
- Sanitize hands when entering the hospital and when entering or exiting patient rooms.
- Cover coughs or sneezes with elbow or a tissue and dispose of used tissues in the trash.
- Sanitize hands after coughing or sneezing.
At Northwest Health, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
Please select the location nearest you for more information.
