Hampshire Memorial Hospital Visitor Information
Masks required in all Valley Health Facilities
For the safety of our patients, visitors and staff, masks are required
inside Valley Health facilities – even for those who are fully vaccinated.
The lifting of community mask requirements
by the CDC specifically excludes healthcare settings. Thank you for your understanding.
COVID-19 Visitation Exceptions
For the safety of our patients, staff and community at this time social
visits remain restricted. We are allowing patients to choose if they wish to have
Care Partner(s) who provide physical and emotional support.
System-Wide Hospital Care Partner Policies
The following changes go into effect on May 18, 2021:
- Two (2) Care Partners are permitted in the patient’s room, per day.
Care partners may switch-out after a 24-hour period. All Care Partners
must check in and check out daily and must have a valid photo I.D.
- Community Clergy may visit a patient upon request and may be at the bedside
in addition to the two visiting Care Partners to allow spiritual support.
Community Clergy must only visit the patient who made the request and
may not proceed to additional patient rooms.
Health screening and hand hygiene will occur upon entrance to Hampshire
Memorial Hospital. Care Partners may enter the hospital 8am-8pm, seven
days per week. Masks must be worn throughout all hospital public areas
and when the health care team is in a patient’s room.
