Your safety is our priority

Because the health and safety of our patients, visitors and staff is a priority, Children’s is:

  • Allowing two caregivers with each patient. No other family or visitors are allowed.
    • Effective April 1, patients receiving hospital laboratory and phlebotomy services may be accompanied by two visitors.
    • Lab treatment rooms and sleep lab studies will continue to allow one visitor
    • Masks are recommended.
    • Masks are required for:
      • Anyone over the age of 2 in our emergency departments, urgent care locations and some clinic locations due to a higher possibility of spreading illnesses in these areas.
      • A patient who is at high risk for infections.*
      • A guardian or visitor of a patient who is at high risk for infection.*
      • Our clinical team members and employees during direct patient care in our hospitals and clinics.

    *If you are unsure if your child is at high-risk for infections, please ask their care team.

  • Practicing social distancing by staying 6 feet away from other patients and visitors.
