Staff Report From Savannah CEO
Monday, March 16th, 2020
Memorial Health has not received any patients who have tested positive for COVID-19.
In our continuing efforts to protect our patients, guests and caregivers, we will implement the following changes effective Monday, March 16.
Public entrances to the hospital will be:
ER (24/7)
Monday – Friday
Main Hospital Entrance (5:30am – 7pm)
Heart & Vascular Institute (5am – 7pm)
Day Surgery (4:30am – 4pm)
Weekends
Main Hospital Entrance (7am – 7pm)
Heart & Vascular Institute (7am – 7pm)
Additional visitation restrictions will be implemented:
Only one (1) well adult visitor per patient at all times
Visitation hours are 6am – 7pm
Children 18 and under will not be allowed to visit
Special consideration will be given to those in critical care, neonatal intensive care unit, maternity center and at the Children’s Hospital, on a case-by-case basis.
When visitors or patients arrive on campus, they should utilize the public entrances. Greeters will be screening at those entrances with a list of basic questions to help ensure that patients get the care they need while not potentially exposing others to the virus.
Please do not visit the hospital if you:
Have a fever
Have a cough or shortness of breath and have traveled outside the US in the past 14 days
Have had direct contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19
