Wesley Medical Center has implemented new visitor restrictions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The hospital is currently treating a man from Butler County who tested positive for the virus, pending full confirmation by the Centers for Disease Control.
The new restrictions include:
Limiting the number of visitors to one per patient, with no visitors under age 12 allowed.
Limiting visiting hours to 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. If there are any extenuating circumstances, such as an end-of-life situation, hospital leadership will be consulted for approval. Exceptions to these hours will allow one parent overnight for pediatrics and NICU, one support person for mothers in labor,and one patient advocate pre-and post-surgery.
Barring any visitor who screens positive at one of our screening stations from entering the building.
Masking all patients entering the building who screen positive.
Closing the Four Corners Café at the Hillside campus. The main cafeteria will remain open; however seating in the cafeteria will be closed to limit close personal contact.
The hospital will continue visitor screenings at all entrances, but the Critical Care entrance on the south side of Wesley Medical Center will be closed on weekends.
