COVID-19: PATIENT & VISITOR INFORMATION

 

VISITOR POLICY (effective 11/27/2020)

To continue protecting our patients and caregivers, we are revising our visitor policies.

 

Admitted hospital patients

Houston Methodist facilities are no longer permitting visitors for admitted hospitalized patients. Exceptions for one visitor (not a rotation of visitors) 18 years or older, include:.

• Hospitalized maternity, postpartum and NICU patients: One healthy partner/parent
• Disabled or impaired patients: One healthy visitor to escort and provide wheelchair assistance
• Critical patients (until stabilized): One healthy visitor
• End-of-life patients: Two healthy visitors at a time, for one brief visit
• Discharged patients: One healthy visitor for education at discharge
• Family conference, temporary need for family support (i.e.: following diagnosis): As requested by physician

 

Surgical, procedural and diagnostic procedure patients

You are allowed one visitor 18 years or older who may stay until visiting hours end at 8 p.m. (on the day of surgery). This is a single visitor, not a rotation of visitors. This single visitor is not permitted to stay overnight or return the next day.

Doctor appointments

You are limited to one visitor 18 years or older. However, we encourage you to come to your appointment alone. Visitors will be subject to the clinic’s screening and protection criteria.

 

Emergency department

There are no visitors allowed in the emergency department. An exception will be made for an essential visitor in compassionate cases. Patients who have tested positive or are under evaluation for COVID-19 will not be permitted visitors.

Everyone must wear a mask at all times while in Houston Methodist facilities.
