New Temporary Visitor Restrictions enacted to protect patient health
Temporary Visitor Policy
Following guidelines from the CDC and Utah Department of Health, Mountain West Medical Center is taking aggressive and proactive measures in our hospital to better protect patients, visitors, providers, and staff from the potential spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).
These include:
- One entry point into the facility (ER entrance)
- Patients (surgery and obstetrical) are limited to one companion, age 18 and in good health
- One parent, in good health, will be allowed to accompany a pediatric patient
- No children under the age of 18 are permitted to visit
- Other visitors are not allowed
- Companions must wash their hands or use alcohol sanitizer before entering and after leaving the facility, any patient room and any exam room
Friends and family can call patient rooms. Patients can access the hospitals free Wi-Fi, allowing patients the opportunity to use FaceTime and other video communication apps.
There will be a temporary suspension of all support group and general health education classes that meet at the hospital.
