Piedmont Fayette Visitor Information
Level IV Restriction - 3/21/2020
To best protect the safety of our patients and employees, our hospital is implementing a no-visitor policy until further notice, except in special circumstances.
The only visitors who will be permitted are essential family members who must receive prior approval from the patient care team in cases such as end-of-life care, labor and delivery patients, and for legal guardians of minors receiving care, which includes our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Visitors who are approved must pass the health/quarantine screen. Visitors will not be permitted into the room of a patient who is presumptive positive, confirmed or a Person Under Investigation (PUI) for COVID-19.
The only vendors who will be permitted entry are those who are essential to patient care, such as those involved in surgery and direct patient services, and they will require approval and must pass the same health screening.
Piedmont encourages the use of electronic devices to communicate with patients who are hospitalized.
Visiting Hours
Piedmont Fayette has limited visiting hours at this time in an effort to prevent the spread of novel Coronavirus COVID-19. The new hours are 9 a.m. to noon and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Piedmont Fayette is limiting the number of visitors to two per patient, and all visitors will be screened at the entrances to the hospital.
Visiting Guidelines
- Visitors should limit visits to 20 minutes.
- Visitors must leave your room during treatment or examinations.
- Visitors are not permitted to smoke anywhere on the premises.
If you are recovering from a complicated procedure, your physician may recommend that you refrain from having any visitors until you are rested and have had the opportunity to recover.
In the circumstances that your physician permits a loved one to spend the night with you in the hospital, ask your nurse about sleeping arrangements.
