covid-safety-dial

Hendrick Health moved its COVID-19 Community Safety Dial to Level 3, while also changing the category name for Level 3 from Severe to Moderate. This change more closely aligns with the CDC’s Community Levels degrees of transmission.

At Level 3, visitation and masking are relaxed at all Hendrick facilities.

  • Visitors will not be required to check-in at screening/check-in stations.
  • By entering a Hendrick facility, visitors attest that they have not had contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19 or thought to have COVID-19 in the last 10 days, are not displaying symptoms of COVID-19, and are not waiting on COVID-19 test results nor have been diagnosed with an active COVID-19 infection.
  • Visitors under the age of 16 are permitted if accompanied by an adult chaperone.
  • Two (2) visitors per patient room. Patients can have an unlimited number of visitors within the facility.
  • COVID-19 patient visitation – one (1) visitor per patient (PPE required) in the facility at a time.
  • Coffee shops, gift shops and waiting rooms are open to visitors and the public.
  • Some patient care areas may have additional visitation restrictions, including patients diagnosed with or under investigation for COVID-19.

In addition, in-person support groups may now meet in facilities, if deemed appropriate
