Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidance
Keeping everyone safe remains our first priority. Based on the decrease in positive COVID-19 cases in the community, we have made the following changes to our visitor restrictions, effective Monday, Aug. 2, 2021.
For your safety and the safety of patients and caregivers:
- Face masks are required at all times.
- Two visitors per patient at a time. Children 12 and older may visit with 1 adult and must wear a mask.
- Inpatients who are COVID-19 positive will be allowed one visitor, for a limited time, each day.
- Some areas may have specific visitor age and other requirements (i.e., ICU).
- Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms will not be permitted to enter unless they are seeking medical care.
- 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.
