Safety First:
Visitor Policy Update March 16, 2020
Effective immediately and until further notice, NO VISITORS will be allowed at Union County Hospital and Long Term Care with a few exceptions noted below.
Next to our patients, our patients' friends and family members are the most important people we know. However, due to the possible spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, families, visitors, and the general public are restricted from visiting the Hospital or Long Term Care Center for any reason other than to obtain medical services.
These precautions are focused on keeping our vulnerable patients in the healthiest environment possible.
Exceptions:
- End of life patients (number of visitors managed on case-by-case basis)
- Emergency Department companion (1 visitor)
- In-person discharge instructions (1 visitor)
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding of these changes. Union County Hospital is making every attempt to protect patients, caregivers, and visitors from the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
