Policy Update from CHI Mercy Health Mercy Medical Center

Effective Friday, March 20, 2020 To keep our patients and staff safe during the COVID-19 outbreak, we are revising our visitor policy until further notice to the following: • No visitors allowed (very minimal exceptions noted below) • The South entrance will be closed and all patients or visitors need to got to the Emergency Entrance. • The required Screening station is located at the Emergency Department Entrance. • ALL Patients and Visitors will be screened prior to entering the hospital. • Family BirthPlace patients will continue to use the night entrance located by the South Lobby. Visitors to Family Birthplace will be screened and be limited to 1 per hospitalization (still no children allowed 17 and under). Visitors will not be allowed in the facility, except under special circumstances, including end-of-life, childbirth/NICU/special care nursery, and caregivers in certain situations. Visitors will also be screened and any visitor who have a fever or cough or respond yes to any of the CDC screening questions during the screening process will not be allowed to enter the hospital. Due to the fluid nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, we may change our policy again. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we continue to keep our patients and staff safe.
