Patients & Visitors
Current Patient and Visitor Guidelines (as of Thursday, December 30, 2021)
Precautions for infection prevention, access control, social distancing and patient flow are in place to maintain a safe environment of care. All visitors are required to wear a mask.
Effective December 30, 2021:
No visitation will be allowed in the emergency department at Dunlop Lane or the emergency department Sango with the exception of pediatric patients under 18 years of age, a visitor vital to the care of the patient (e.g. unique communication needs) or end of life.
Effective Tuesday, January 4, 2022:
One visitor per patient (inpatient and outpatient) per day will be allowed on the following patient care units: 2100, 2200, 2300, 4100, 4200, 4300, and 5200. Visitors are allowed Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Visitors will not be allowed on the COVID unit or critical care COVID rooms unless special considerations exist as outlined below.
Women giving birth may have one designated visitor with them for the duration of their stay.
No minors are allowed as visitors to the Family Birth Center (labor and delivery, post-partum). Our NICU patients may have two adult visitors for the duration of the infant’s stay.
All surgery, cath lab, interventional radiology, and endo patients will be allowed one visitor to accompany them. These visitors are asked to enter the facility through the main entrance with the surgery patient.
The following special considerations will be made for visitation:
- Visiting a loved one for end of life care - unlimited throughout the day, but only two visitors at a time
- A visitor vital to the clinical care of the patient
- Pediatric patients may have one parent/guardian/caregiver
- Visitors under the age of 16
Patients presenting for pre-admission testing, surgery or outpatient services are asked to bring a mask with them and to wear it while in the building. Patients scheduled for surgery or other invasive procedures who can provide proof of being fully vaccinated will not be tested for COVID-19 in advance of the procedure.
Clergy may visit a patient provided they have a Community clergy badge, have the patient’s name, and are properly tagged by the Information desk located inside the main entrance. Clergy are not included in patient visitation counts.
For patient medical records requests, please contact us at (931) 502-1666, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
