Maternity Services patients at Veterans Memorial Hospital will now be allowed to have two visitors at one time visiting a post-partum mother. In addition, any other children in the family will now also be allowed to come in to visit their mom and meet their new brother or sister.
During COVID-19, only the father was allowed to visit the hospital. Now fathers of babies will also be able to come and go from the facility until their child is released from the hospital.
All visitors are still required to screen their temperature when they arrive to the facility and wear a mask. Anyone with any exposure to or signs or symptoms of COVID-19 will not be allowed to enter the building. All visitors should enter through the main entrance of the hospital.
