Visitors

Dear Patient and Families,

To ensure excellent patient care, as well as family and visitor safety, the Southeast Colorado Hospital District team are working around the clock to stay on top of the evolving Measles, Flu, RSV, and COVID-19 surge. We continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19 in our community and will update the guidelines as needed to provide the safest care to everyone.

Visiting Hours and Guidelines:
Visitors may be required to wear masks over their nose, mouth, and under their chin.
COVID-19 Screening:
In order to ensure the safety and health of all patients and our staff, people who show signs and symptoms of a communicable disease or test positive for one, including COVID-19 or measles may not be permitted to visit.

General Visitation: Emergency Room
Healthy visitors may be allowed to see a patient.

General Visitation: Outpatient Services (clinic, therapy, lab, and radiology service)

Visitors may be allowed to see a patient.

General Visitation: Hospital Inpatient Area
Healthy visitors must stay in the room of the patient they are visiting. They should not enter other patients' rooms during the visit. If the patient must leave their room for other medical treatment in the hospital, the visitor will be asked if they wish to accompany the patient. Visitors should remain in the patient's room until leaving for the day.
General Visitation: COVID-19 Inpatient/Outpatient Services
No visitors. Car, window/video visits only. (At the provider's discretion.)
Exceptions: Pediatric patients (1 parent or guardian per 24 hours), patients requiring a caregiver (e.g. cerebral palsy, 1 caregiver per 24 hours), patients unable to provide history (e.g. advanced dementia, 1 family member or caregiver per 24 hours)
Visit to patients who are at end of life:
At the provider's discretion. During this challenging time, we ask that patients and visitors follow the staff's direction and understand that the evolving circumstances will result in variation of visits. Thank you for your patience and for placing your trust in us.
