Witham Health Services is under temporary Visitor Restrictions. Due to the significant rise in viral illness activity in our community, temporary visitor restrictions are in effect for the safety and wellbeing of our patients and staff.
No visitors are allowed at this time with the exception of: Labor, Delivery and Post-Partum Unit and Surgery where one pre-determined visitor will be allowed for each patient. The names of this visitor will be requested upon admission to the unit. In-Patient Rooms, one support person will be allowed if attending physician deems necessary, Office Visits, one support person will be allowed if necessary. Exceptions will also be made for end of life care, and special circumstances.
Everyone will be required to wear a face covering or risk not being allowed entry. Everyone will be screened upon entry to the unit using a CDC recommended screening questionnaire and should be symptom free, e.g. no signs of fever, cough, sore throat, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of smell or taste. Visitors must be 18 years of age or older.
Witham Health Services apologizes for the inconvenience to our patients and visitors, but we know the restrictions are necessary to protect and provide a safe environment for our immune-compromised patients and for our staff. The restrictions remain in effect until further notice.
