Series: Coronavirus | Story 194

Although Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center and its outpatient centers have re-implemented a zero-visitor policy, visiting hours at Nason Medical Center in Roaring Spring will remain the same for the time being, according to Nason’s CEO.

Timothy Harclerode, CEO, said visiting hours at Nason are noon to 7 p.m. daily, with one adult visitor per patient, per day.

MedSurg patients will be limited to one adult visitor per day between the hours of noon to 7 p.m. ICU patients will be limited to one adult visitor for one hour between the hours of noon and 7 p.m. Labor and delivery patients will be limited to one support person for the duration of their stay.

All visitors must remain in patient’s room for the duration of the visit. One person is permitted to accompany ambulatory appointments. Please be aware seating is limited in waiting areas.

Visitors are not allowed for high-risk, isolation, immunocompromised or respiratory patients who are under investigation or test positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

Social distancing will continue to be practiced. All visitors will be screened upon entry, required to wear a mask and an armband indicating they have been screened.

Visitors who screen positive at entry will be asked to reschedule their visit until they are symptom-free.

“Please utilize alternative methods of communication, including technology, with patients as much as possible,” Harclerode, said.
