Visiting A Patient

Visitors bring encouragement and support to patients. Community Memorial Hospital welcomes family and friends to our hospital, but you are asked to keep these guidelines in mind:

Temporary visitor restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic limit patient visitors to one person, who should be a family member or designated caregiver. The one-visitor limit applies to those who are hospitalized or those who have a scheduled outpatient visit. Please check this site for updates as visitor policies change during the COVID-19 worldwide outbreak. Full details are here.

• If you are ill, you should postpone your visit
• Please wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before and after your visit
• For some patients visiting is restricted for health and safety reasons
• If you need to visit after 9:00 p.m., use Entrance B and ask the nurse for assistance
