Hillsboro Area Hospital Enforcing No Visitor Policy

A local area hospital has enacted a no visitor policy. Starting on Friday, Hillsboro Area Hospital started enforcing a no visitor policy to ensure the safety, health, and wellness of the patients, community, and staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

 

There will be exceptions for special circumstances such as critical patients undergoing emergency care, patients undergoing emergency surgical procedures will be allowed one support person over the age of 18. Pediatric patients may have one parent or guardian present. Visitors under the age of 18 will be prohibited unless they are the parent of a child receiving care. Patients reporting for outpatient services should ask their support person to remain in their vehicle during the duration of the hospital visit. Other circumstances may be evaluated on a case by case basis.

 

To check on family members, patients are asked to call 532-4172. The hospital will also help Facetime as well.
