Piedmont Fayette Visitor Information
Care Partner Policy (Updated September 14, 2021)
Effective September 14th, 2021 - Due to the extreme high level of patient volumes, no care partners will be allowed in critical care areas at this time. This includes all rooms on the second floor.
In all other areas of the hospital, one care partner is allowed. This includes off-campus outpatient centers. Care partners may switch out every 24 hours in all inpatient areas except Women’s Services, which allows one designated care partner throughout the patient’s stay.
All care partners must pass the daily health screening at the entrance. Care partners under the age of 18 are not allowed at this time.
Everyone who enters Piedmont facility must continue to wear a mask at all times.
Care partners are asked to adhere to social distancing guidelines and remain in the patient’s room, unless visiting the cafeteria, Chick-fil-A, or the chapel.
Generally, for the safety of the community, Piedmont Fayette will still not allow care partners to visit COVID-19 patients. Legal guardians or family caregivers will be allowed for COVID patients if it is determined necessary for the care of the patient (such as end of life care or special needs).
Piedmont encourages the use of electronic devices to communicate with patients who are hospitalized.
While we regret the inconvenience it may cause for some patients, safety is at the center of our organization and we believe these steps are necessary to create the safest environment at our hospital.
