« Important COVID-19 Announcements

Please check with us often as this policy may be updated as events warrant.

• Nursing and rehabilitation facilities – No visitors
• Hackensack Meridian Health Hospitals – No visitors

The situation surrounding COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) continues to evolve and changes occur rapidly. Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH) is restricting visitation across all of its hospitals. This restriction takes effective Friday, March 13, 2020. Please know, the health and safety of our patients, their families, and team members remains a top priority for HMH.

Visitation exceptions will be made in certain situations, including:

• Hospice
• Pediatric care
• Ambulatory Care/Same day surgery (one visitor)
• Maternity/Labor and delivery (one visitor)

Once a visitor is approved, they will undergo a temperature screening. They will need to provide their contact information in the event that tracing becomes necessary. Phone and video calls to patients are welcome and encouraged.

As a precautionary measure and to keep patients and team members safe, HMH is also asking its team members to self-monitor their temperature before they report to work.

We take these proactive precautions to protect our patients, team members, and the communities we serve. We are sensitive to the separation this restriction causes our patients and their loved ones, but we believe this measure of protection is essential at this time to keep people safe.
