Patients & Visitors
Temporary Visitor Restrictions
Our number one priority is to keep our patients, visitors, and hospital community safe. We appreciate that you also want your loved ones who are patients at St. Bernardine Medical Center to be safe while in our care. As COVID-19 information continues to rapidly evolve, our goal is to keep patients and visitors informed. The hospital has implemented a health screening process, including temperature reading, for all patients, visitors, employees, physicians, and vendors entering our main lobby or emergency department. Please note, any visitor showing signs or symptoms of illness may not visit patients. Instead, please consider using technology such as FaceTime, Skype or WhatsApp to stay in touch. All of our hospital locations will be restricting patient and location access to areas including the cafeteria and chapel depending on the current needs.
Change in Visitation Guidelines
Effective March 23, 2021
We understand how important visitors are to our patients, and we are so pleased to welcome visitors with the following guidelines:
Non-COVID Patients may have up to 2 visitors at a time from the same household.
- Each visitor must be screened for fever and COVID-19 symptoms upon entry to the hospital. If you have symptoms or a fever you will not be able to enter the hospital.
- Each visitor must wear a face covering at all times upon entry and while in the hospital.
- Visitation is restricted to the patient’s room only, no waiting is permitted in the hallways.
- Visitors must use hand sanitizer upon entering and exiting the patient’s room.
- Cafeteria is restricted to employees only at this time.
We understand that this adjustment is difficult for both patients and visitors. To ease this transition, our care teams have iPads available to patients who wish to connect with loved ones via Facetime.
We thank you for the compassion and humankindness you will show as you explain this change. We recognize that this is an extraordinary situation locally, nationally and globally and thank you for your support of these measures as a way to keep our patients, visitors, employees, and community safe.
RESTRICCIONES TEMPORALES PARA VISITANTES
Nuestra principal prioridad es mantener la seguridad de nuestros pacientes, de los visitantes y de la comunidad del hospital. Le agradecemos que usted también cuide la seguridad de sus seres queridos que son pacientes en St. Bernardine Medical Center mientras reciben nuestra atención. La información sobre COVID-19 evoluciona rápidamente, y nuestro objetivo es mantener a los pacientes y los visitantes bien informados. El hospital ha implementado una prueba de detección, incluyendo prueba de temperatura de todos los pacientes, visitantes, empleados, médicos, y proveedores entren por la entrada principal o por el departamento de emergencias. Cualquier visitante que muestre señales y síntomas de enfermedad no podrá visitar a pacientes hospitalizados. Les recomendamos utilizar las herramientas tecnológicas para estar en contacto con sus familiares y amigos, tales como FaceTime, Skype o WhatsApp. Todas nuestras ubicaciones hospitalarias restringirán el acceso del paciente y de la ubicación a áreas como la cafetería y la capilla dependiendo de las necesidades actuales.
