Piedmont Henry Visitor Information

Care Partner Policy (Updated October 10, 2022)

Effective October 10, 2022, Piedmont Henry is following the Centers for Disease Control Community Transmission Levels and adjusting their masking guidelines for staff members and visitors accordingly. During a high transmission rate, visitors will be required to wear a mask at all times. During times when the community transmission rate is lower than high, visitors will be encouraged to wear a mask outside of a patient’s room, but it will not be required.

• Piedmont Henry will allow each patient to have two care partners accompany them for services during their inpatient stay.
• COVID positive patients, and patients in double occupancy rooms, will still only be allowed one care partner visit per day.
• Legal guardians or family caregivers will be allowed for COVID patients if it is determined to be necessary for the care of the patient (such as end of life care or special needs).
• 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 12 are not allowed.
• One care partner may stay overnight for inpatients, excluding COVID patients and patients in double-occupancy rooms. Children are not allowed to stay with a patient overnight.
• Labor and Delivery, Family Care Center, and the NICU are limiting visitation to parents and guardians at this time.

Piedmont encourages the use of electronic devices to communicate with patients who are hospitalized.
