Metropolis, IL– Due to the increasing positivity of COVID-19 cases in our region, Massac Memorial Hospital has adjusted its hospital visitor policy for the safety of patients and staff.
Emergency room patients will be directed to their appropriate room, but visitors will not be permitted during their stay. If a patient needs additional assistance due to age or medical concerns, the Massac Memorial team will work to accommodate those needs to the best of their ability.
Patients admitted to the hospital who are COVID-19 negative will be allowed one (1) adult visitor during normal visitation hours: 7am – 9pm. Surgery patients will be allowed one (1) adult visitor who must remain in the patient room during the stay.
All patients and visitors must wear a mask at all times outside of the patient’s room. Unless it is medically necessary, there will be no visitors allowed in any of the therapy departments, radiology, cardio-pulmonary, or the laboratory.
The Family Care Clinic, the Massac Medical Clinic, and the Integrated Care Clinic will continue to allow visitors on an as needed basis.
Massac Memorial Hospital is dedicated to the continued health of our community. By implementing these new policies, MMH advises that they will provide the safest environment possible for you, your family, and their staff.
For more information or questions about these changes, please call (618) 638-1344.
