Livingston Regional Hospital has expanded to open visits for all patients.
Physician Relations and Marketing Director David Cox said the decision is meant to improve patient satisfaction and care.
“This allows an unlimited amount of visitors to be able to come into the hospital,” Cox said. “Of course, we are still requiring masks, and we are also still requiring temperature checks and screening at the front of the hospital.”
Cox said the change in guidelines means pastor visits and Chaplin services have resumed. Cox said the hospital is excited to offer visitations again to the community.
“We’ll be resuming their Chaplin duties in the hospital and receiving that opportunity to be able to come in and see their congregation,” Cox said. “And, we will have phone numbers listed and a Chaplin on call for any or all patients that require their services.”
Visitation in the behavioral health unit is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Patients that require emergency services are allowed one visitor.
