Brooksville Visitor Information
Current Visitor Guidelines
We have adapted regularly based on what we have learned during the pandemic and through ongoing guidance from the CDC in order to maintain safeguards that we have in place for the safety of all. Based on the decrease in COVID-19 cases in our community, we are welcoming visitors into our facilities with fewer restrictions effective Friday, October 22, 2021.
Visitor restrictions are limited to:
- Emergency room patients are permitted one visitor in the treatment room once the patient is stabilized. The physician or charge nurse may restrict the visitation based on patient condition.
- Patients with visitor restrictions, such as on isolation precautions, will be permitted a visitor when their condition improves. Additionally, we do not allow visitation with COVID-19 patients or those patients under investigation for COVID-19. Exceptions will be considered for end of life situations.
- Surgical patients are permitted one person to accompany them before and after the procedure. During the procedure they will have the option to wait in the outpatient waiting room or in their car and to leave a contact number with the staff for a status call. For surgical patients admitted to the hospital, visitation is permitted.
- Anyone visiting should bring a face mask. The face mask must be worn the entire time they are in the facility.
Screening:
- Self-screening for symptoms of COVID-19 and flu is required at our entrances. Anyone entering the building is attesting that they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 or the flu and have not had unprotected close contact with a COVID-19 positive person.
What You Can Do:
- Our environmental services team is paying rigorous attention to cleaning and disinfection protocols.
- Wear a mask. They are required in all areas of the hospital.
Wash Your Hands Often:
- Perform hand hygiene frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty or with soap and water if hands are dirty.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Practice respiratory hygiene by coughing or sneezing into a bent elbow or tissue and then immediately disposing of the tissue.
We also encourage our patients to connect with family and friends by using Facetime or another video communication app.
