With the number of COVID-19 cases on the increase in the local area, St. Lukes Health Systems has tightened its visitor guidelines for Hedrick Medical Center and Wright Memorial Hospital. Saint Luke’s top priority is to care for patients and staff and keeping everyone as healthy as possible. As a result, Hedrick Medical Center and Wright Memorial Hospital have revised their visitor guidelines to ‘Level 4 Restricted’ visitation, starting today.
Both facilities were previously at a ‘Level 3’, which allowed two visitors per patient per day in the emergency department and inpatient areas. The Level 4 Restricted visitor guidelines restrict visitors to one visitor per patient per day, no visitor re-entry, and no visitors under the age of 14. Masks are always required to be worn by the visitors, even in the patient rooms.
In addition to mandatory masking, visitors will continue to be screened upon arrival.
