Patients and Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
In response to the presence of COVID-19 in our community as well as state, our hospital has implemented a restricted Patient Visitor Policy based on recommendations from CDC and our infectious disease experts.
Entry to Davis Regional is limited to the main/visitor entrance from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. The emergency department entrance is open 24 hours/day. The east entrance is open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. for patients coming for rehabilitation therapy or for pre-admission surgical testing. All other entrances will be closed to the public.
Visitation Specifics
- Visitation hours are from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. for general medical/surgical patients.
- Visitors are limited to two visitors at a time per patient.
- Maternity patients may have two support people, which should be the same two support people throughout the patient’s stay. Visiting hours do not apply to a maternity patient's two support people. A maternity patient may also have a certified doula present if the patient has selected one.
- Adult surgery patients undergoing same-day procedures may have one adult accompany them on the day of surgery.
- Pediatric surgery patients undergoing same-day procedures may have two parents/guardians. Only one parent/guardian will be allowed in the surgical patient care area during pre-operative and post-operative care.
- Patients receiving outpatient services including cardiopulmonary, imaging, infusion, labs and medical records are asked to refrain from bringing additional visitors. Exceptions may apply including pediatric patients, those with mobility needs and special needs.
- Emergency department
- Minor patients under 18 years old may have two parents/guardians.
- Behavioral health patients are restricted from in-person visitors at this time. A modified visitation plan is in place for patients who wish to see family members. Special circumstances will be managed by the treating physician and facility leaders.
- Clergy may visit their parishioners at any hour.
- A patient in isolation may have additional visitation restrictions including those with positive or pending COVID-19 test results.
Visitors must be at least 18 years of age. Visitors will be screened with a temperature check and asked if they have COVID-19 symptoms. Each visitor must wear a mask while in the facility. If a visitor does not have a mask, one will be provided for them. Visitors should stay in the patient’s room or designated area except when arriving or departing from the hospital.
To minimize unnecessary exposure to infectious or communicable diseases, visitor restrictions are in place and non-essential activities are temporarily suspended until further notice, including community education seminars, Senior Circle meetings, Special Delivery tours, Medical Explorers meetings, and Sunshine Volunteers' meetings and events.
The COVID-19 hospital and clinic visitor policy is intended to provide additional safeguards for our patients, families, visitors and caregivers through decreased exposure to individuals who may have been exposed to the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
Due to the changing nature of COVID-19’s presence in our area, this policy may be revised accordingly in response to circumstances.
At Davis Regional Medical Center, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
