Due to rise in COVID-19 activity in Scott County and promoting the safety of our patients, employees and visitors we are implementing a temporary limited visitation policy. 

  • One visitor is allowed per patient room per day.  Please remain in the patient room while visiting. 
  • No visitors are currently allowed in the Emergency Department. If you are waiting for a patient, please wait in your car.  Pediatric patients or patients with special needs may have a parent or guardian accompany them to the ER.
  • For compassionate care accommodations will be made
  • No visitors under the age of 16
  • Patients under the age of 18 are allowed to have parent/guardian
  • Outpatient procedures--Companions are asked to wait in their car for the patient, unless  the patient needs a companion for care purposes. Mother/baby ultrasounds will permit two visitors.

Per CDC guidance and for the safety of our patients, providers, team members and visitors ALL visitors should arrive wearing a MASK and should be free of COVID-like symptoms before coming to the hospital.  Please do not come to the hospital to visit if you feel ill.
