Prisma Health Will Offer Limited Visits Beginning Sept. 1

Prisma Health will offer limited visits for designated care partners beginning Tuesday, Sept. 1.Out of caution, Prisma Health had limited visitation early in the pandemic in an effort to ensure patient, family and team member safety. But after a decline in community spread, Prisma Health has decided to offer additional limited visitation.

The expanded policy will allow additional visitation by a single designated care partner under the following limited circumstances:

• Inpatients who are not suspected of or diagnosed with COVID-19;
• Emergency department patients once patients have been moved to a treatment area;
• Obstetric patients;
• Behavioral health patients;
• and Clergy may be requested for patients without signs of COVID-19 as long as care is not disrupted.

Most visitation will occur 2-6 p.m. daily.

Visitors still cannot visit patients who have COVID-19 or are suspected to have it, except for in end-of-life situations.
