Everyone who enters the hospital, including any approved care partners, must follow safety guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
- All care partners must pass the health/quarantine screen. Any visitor who does not pass the health screen will be required to leave the facility.
- All care partners should follow respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette precautions.
- All care partners must wear a face mask at all times.
- All care partners must limit their movement within facility to decrease interaction with staff and the public.
A Care Partner may be a relative, partner, friend or anyone (over age 18) that the patient chooses to have at their side during care. A Care Partner takes an active role in caring for their loved one in the hospital.
We understand the importance of family and friends for the healing process of our patients, and encourage patients to use technology to keep in touch with family and friends. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Piedmont Atlanta Hospital reserves the right to change the Care Partner Policy at any time.
