Due to rising COVID-19 infection rates, Infirmary Health has modified its hospital visitor policy for Mobile Infirmary, Thomas Hospital, North Baldwin Infirmary, Infirmary Long Term Acute Care Hospital, J.L. Bedsole/Rotary Rehabilitation Hospital and Colony Rehabilitation Hospital effective Tuesday, July 27, 2021.
Each inpatient will be permitted two visitors at a time age 14 and older (exceptions apply). Emergency Department patients and outpatients are permitted one visitor at a time age 14 and older. For visitation hours and additional information on Infirmary Health’s visitor policy, please visit infirmaryhealth.org/visitors
All visitors are required to be masked at all times and have their temperature screened upon entrance. Visitors should maintain hand hygiene and appropriate social distancing and should remain in the patient’s room. Hospital cafeterias, waiting areas and other common areas will be closed to all visitors. Visitors who do not meet these guidelines will not be permitted.
In addition, Infirmary Health encourages everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Community members can schedule a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine appointment at the location nearest them by visiting MyIHChart.org
Infirmary Health reserves the right to modify its visitor policy to be more restrictive in the future if the situation deems necessary in order to protect our patients, physicians and staff.
