Piedmont Henry Visitor Information

Care Partner Policy (Updated February 4, 2021)

Effective Feb. 5th, 2020, Piedmont Henry will allow each patient to have one care partner (i.e. a family member or caregiver) accompany them for services or during their inpatient stay. 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.

Visitors are restricted to ONE care partner per non-COVID patient per 24 hours. This includes patients at the hospital and off-campus outpatient centers.

• All care partners must pass the daily health screen (including temperature check) and wear a sticker/wristband to show they have passed the screening.
• Care partners will be rescreened daily.
• Any care partner with a temperature over 100.0 degrees will not be permitted entry into our facilities.
• Care partners under the age of 18 are not allowed.
• Care partners age 70 and older are discouraged from visiting at this time.
• No care partners will be permitted for our COVID-19 patients.

Everyone who enters a Piedmont facility must wear a face 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, Subway, or the chapel.

Labor and Delivery/Family Care Center will continue to allow one identified care partner per patient and the NICU will allow the mother and care partner to visit.

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.

All workforce screened prior to start of workday/assigned shift at entrance, or upon reporting to their work unit/department, via temperature or via signs/symptoms quarantine screen that may include a temperature check as needed.
