Hospital Visitation – *UPDATED

We continue to ensure a safe and compassionate process for families and essential support persons to visit patients, while preventing person-to-person transmission of infectious diseases in our acute care settings. All visitors will continue to be screened to make certain they do not fit a COVID-19 profile, based on CDC guidelines. To safely regulate access to patient care areas within our hospital, visitor screening stations are placed at the entrance of our facilities.

 

Please note the following guidelines:


  • Visitors must acquire masks themselves prior to entering our facility; cloth masks are acceptable
  • Masks must cover both the nose and the mouth
  • Visitors must pass screening before entry
  • Emergency Department entrance open 24/7
  • Main Entrance open 7am to 2pm, Monday – Friday
    • Gift Shop open
  • All visitors are screened at the door, including a temperature taken
  • All associates are screened at each shift, including a temperature taken
  • Visiting hours are 7am to 9pm
    • COVID Unit limited to (1) visitor (age 16 and over)
    • ER and ICU limited to (2) visitors
    • ALL hospital visitors are required to wear a mask. Visitors should bring their own mask; homemade cloth masks are acceptable.

 

Effective March 17, 2021

We will no longer restrict the number of visitors per patient, however, we strongly encourage to limit visitors to ONE (1) essential support person and for all other visitors – continue utilizing virtual communication through mobile devices to monitor your loved ones in our care.

Hospital Services

Expecting a baby?  We’re expecting you!  Our Birthing Center provides a wonderfully progressive environment for the delivery of your new addition.  Our department includes eight Labor-Delivery Recovery-Postpartum rooms, where you may experience the entire birthing experience in one spacious, home-like suite, as well as four post-partum rooms, and a recovery room.  Babies born in the Women’s Pavilion benefit from the extended care our upgraded Level II nursery can provide.  We even want to bless your new baby with their very own CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital onesie, to mark their memorable birth at our hospital.  We also offer a special meal for new moms, and have just purchased new labor beds and infant warmers.
