New guidelines for visiting the health system
To protect our patients, visitors and staff from infection, we have implemented the following guidelines:
All visitors to health system facilities in the Kansas City area
We have implemented temperature screenings upon entry into our facilities. We have reduced points of entry at some locations to direct all arriving visitors to a screening station where someone will take your temperature. This includes health system employees. Every person arriving at our facilities must receive a temperature screening before entering.
Visiting patients staying at any health system hospital
For most patients, zero visitors are allowed. Exceptions include:
- 1 parent or guardian for patients younger than 18
- 1 support person for labor and delivery patients
- 1 support person for patients with disabilities or impairments needing assistance
- 1 support person or driver for patients undergoing outpatient treatment or procedures
- Support persons for patients nearing end of life
- Any visitor who has a fever or other cold or flu-like symptoms will not be allowed in our facilities.
Outpatient visits at our clinics throughout the health system
For most patients, zero visitors are allowed. Exceptions include:
- 1 parent or guardian for patients younger than 18
- 1 support person for patients with disabilities or impairments
- We encourage family and friends to return home to await news of their loved one. You may wait in your vehicle if you wish.
Any visitor who has a fever or other cold or flu-like symptoms will not be allowed in our facilities.
Unless you have a scheduled pediatrics appointment, visitors under age 14 will not be allowed in the clinic until further notice.
