Our patient’s health and safety are top priorities as we continue to address the COVID-19 pandemic in our communities. In response, WellSpan Health has developed protocols to maximize the health and safety of our patients, visitors and staff from the spread of COVID-19. As we thoughtfully resume certain services that our patients need, we have made changes to our visitation policies and enhanced safety protocols to protect you and others during the COVID-19 pandemic.
WellSpan Health facilities now permit one patient support person for hospital inpatient visits, Emergency Department patients, and those patients at outpatient locations. Additionally, all patients, support persons and approved visitors over the age of two coming into our facilities must have a face covering regardless of COVID-19 status. If a support person refuses to wear a mask, they will not be admitted into the facility. Hospital staff will use clinical judgment when issues of patient safety prevent the use of a mask.
The full visitation policy can be found on this page, or by visiting www.WellSpan.org/Coronavirus and clicking on WellSpan Visitation Restrictions.
We commit to providing our patients safe, timely, and appropriate care in all of our facilities. We are constantly working to ensure we have adequate personal protective equipment and sanitizing supplies to meet our care needs for both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients and procedures. We are taking these steps to ensure a safe environment for all.
