Visitor restrictions adjusted to accommodate patients & prevent the spread of COVID-19
Effective immediately, Adams County Regional Medical Center is updating current visitation policies. Our hospital recognizes the need for a patient to have a support person that not only supports them but also serves as a liaison to the family and nursing staff.
Visitors for Emergency Department & Hospitalized Patients:
- Admitted patients may have one (1) support person/family member accompany them.
- The visitor must remain in the patient’s room and contact nursing staff when leaving.
- Patients are allowed one visitor per day.
- Visitation hours are 9a.m. – 6:30p.m.
- Visitors must be older than 18 years of age.
- Potential visitors should review CDC and state health department guidelines if visiting a patient with advanced
age and chronic medical conditions and avoid visiting hospital if these apply. - Patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 will not be allowed to have a visitor or support person.
Screening & Mask Guidelines
- Visitors must wear a mask at all times.
- Masks must fully cover the nose and mouth.
- Patients and visitors may provide and wear their own mask or will be required to accept and wear the
mask provided by the hospital facility. - If a visitor refuses to wear a mask, visitors may be asked to leave the facility.
- Exceptions may be made on an individual basis for those who are unable to wear a mask due to health
or disability issues. - All visitors will be screened for symptoms or exposure history.
- Visitors will be asked to leave the facility if they have had symptoms in the past 24 hours or exposures in the
last 14 days. - Visitors must wash their hands, or use hand sanitizer, before and after leaving rooms and hospital buildings.
