Visitor Guidelines
Memorial Health promotes the involvement and support of family and friends as part of providing quality patient care. We encourage visitation in a manner that promotes healing, balances the needs of all patients and visitors in the facility, and creates a safe and secure environment.
Our current visitation policy states:
For patients admitted to the Inpatient Pavilion of Memorial Hospital, each patient may have two visitors during visitation hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Visitors must enter through the Memorial Inpatient Pavilion (Entrance A).
Maternity patients of the Memorial Miracle Life Center may have two visitors during triage/labor/delivery. Up to four visitors at a time (in addition to siblings) may visit after delivery.
For patients receiving outpatient care (Urgent Care/procedures/surgeries/testing/imaging/therapies) at Memorial Hospital or at a Memorial medical center/service location, one support person will be allowed in the room if determined appropriate. Visitors may be asked to wait in the waiting room/lobby at the discretion of the staff. Children who accompany a patient must be properly supervised by a non-patient adult in all waiting areas.
For patients receiving Emergency Room services at Memorial Hospital, two support persons will be allowed in the room if determined appropriate. Visitors may be asked to wait in the waiting room/lobby at the discretion of the staff. Children under the age of 18 will be permitted to visit, and must be accompanied and properly supervised by a non-patient adult.
Visitors to Memorial Health should be free from contagious/communicable illnesses and should practice good hand hygiene while visiting.
Masking may be required for visitors based on specific patient situations, such as when a patient is in isolation. Masks are also recommended for visitors if they are experiencing any respiratory symptoms. We will have masks available for anyone who is more comfortable wearing one.
Children under the age of 18 will be permitted to visit most units and must be accompanied and properly supervised by a non-patient adult.
