Visitor Guidelines
Memorial Health’s visitation policy is continuously revised and adjusted to support patients and their family in receiving care, while continuing to aid in the mitigation and spread of COVID-19.
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 immediate family members may visit after delivery.
For patients receiving Emergency Room/Urgent Care services or outpatient care (procedures/surgeries/testing/imaging/therapies) at Memorial Hospital or at a Memorial medical center/service location, each patient is allowed two visitors. Visitors may be asked to wait in the waiting room/lobby at the discretion of the staff.
Visitors to Memorial Health must meet the following criteria:
- Masks are still the norm in healthcare facilities in Ohio, even for those who are fully vaccinated. While at Memorial Health, patients, visitors, employees, and vendors will continue to wear a face covering/mask. This measure allows Memorial to continue to protect vulnerable and immunocompromised patients, and ensure Memorial is a safe healthcare location for all.
- Wash hands frequently and maintain social distancing.
- 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.
In addition, visitation exceptions will be made in the case of patients under the age of 18, end-of-life situations, and patients with disabilities.
- For patients under the age of 18, each patients may have two visitors during their stay. Visitors must be parents or legal guardians.
- For end-of-life care, discretion will be made by the physician.
- For patients with disabilities, each circumstance will be evaluated on an individual basis and tailored to clinical situations.
