Visitor Restrictions and Screening

At Spring View Hospital, our top priority is safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our patients, providers, employees and community. We continue to closely monitor the prevalence of coronavirus (COVID-19) in our community and follow state and federal guidance as we adapt our operations to safely care for and support our patients.

Please be advised that as of August 27, 2021 we have restricted our visitor policy at Spring View Hospital:

• Each patient will be allowed one (1) well-visitor per day, with the following exceptions:
  • Obstetric patients may have two (2) well-visitors per day. Siblings of newborn may also visit.
  • All visitors must be aged 16 or older.
  • No exchange of visitors is permitted within a 24-hour period.
  • Compassionate exceptions to this policy will be made on a case-by-case basis.
• All visitors will be required to wear a mask at all times while in the facility.
• Visitors who have symptoms of COVID-19 including signs of respiratory infection or flu, new loss of taste or smell, or who have had close contact with a person who is positive or presumptive positive for COVID-19 should NOT enter Spring View Hospital.
• Visitors are NOT allowed for high-risk, isolation, immunocompromised or respiratory patients who are under observation or test positive for COVID-19.

Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain a safe environment for our patients and team.

Patients and visitors can enter Spring View Hospital through the Emergency Walk-In Entrance, Outpatient Surgery/Radiology Entrance and the Front Door Entrance. If you are experiencing a life threatening emergency please enter through the Emergency Department Ambulance Bay entrance.

• Staff, including nurses and physicians, should enter the facility at all times through the Employee Entrance located next to Women's Center only.

All visitors and patients and staff will be screened and have their temperature taken upon entry.  No visitor or staff member will be allowed if they have symptoms of respiratory infection or flu (fever, cough, shortness of breath), have recently traveled to an area with a known outbreak of the virus, or have had close contact with a person who is presumptive positive or positive for COVID-19.

As of April 1, all visitors, patients, and staff at Spring View Hospital and its affiliates as well as Spring View Medical Group will be required to wear a facemask (also known as a surgical mask) at all times.   More information on N95 masks, surgical masks, and wearing a mask in public is below.  

To help ensure the safety of our patients, providers, employees and community, all of our Spring View Medical Group employed practices are allowing patients to have one WELL visitor per day or one companion for ambulatory appointments. All visitors -- and anyone entering our facility -- are screened for symptoms consistent with COVID-19, according to CDC guidelines. WELL visitors must meet our minimum age requirement of 16 years of age and are required to wear a mask or cloth face covering for the duration of their visit. Due to the size of our Emergency Department and out of an abundance of caution we will continue to restrict visitation for a little while longer. Exceptions will continue to be made for pediatric patients, guardians, and end of life situations. Visitors who do not pass the screening at entry will be asked to reschedule their visit and return home.
