Visitor Information

Visit Your Loved Ones

The health and safety of our patients and visitors is a top priority at St. Luke Community Healthcare. We understand how important the support of loved ones and friends is to patients during their hospital stay. At the same time, COVID-19 requires us to adjust our visitation policy temporarily.

We continue to implement vigorous policies and procedures to address COVID-19 and are following all government recommendations as well. If you have questions about our current visitation policy, please ask a member of the patient’s healthcare team. Thank you for taking the time to understand and adhere to these policies to help us keep our patients, families, visitors, and staff protected and healthy during this time.

Visiting hours for the Hospital are 10am to 6pm

All visitors will be required to mask and are screened at the front desk for potential COVID-19 related symptoms. Any visitor who is coughing or shows signs of illness will be asked to kindly leave and come back when they are well.

Please Note: Visitors will be required to wear a mask at all times upon entry to the facility.

Current Visitor and Caregiver Restrictions include:

Inpatient
