Bon Secours St. Francis health system tightens visitor restrictions
January 24, 2022
Changes Take Effect Tuesday, January 25
Bon Secours is revising its visitation restrictions following the rise in COVID-19 cases to ensure the safety of its patients, visitors, and health care workers.
Effective Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at 7 a.m., we will no longer allow visitors at our acute care facilities. Exceptions will be considered at the discretion of the patient’s care team. Those exceptions may be made for end-of-life situations for non-COVID patients, to accommodate OB patient needs, for any patient incapable of providing informed consent, or when a visitor is essential for the patient’s emotional well-being and care.
We recognize this can be disappointing to our visitors and patients, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, the health of our patients and staff are our top priority.
