Exceptions to restrictions

Exceptions will be considered in the following areas where a patient may receive one HEALTHY visitor for a limited time period, based on the care situation:

  • Labor and delivery
  • ER
  • Surgical patients or patients receiving sedation
  • End-of-life situations

For pediatric patients, the patient must be accompanied by one HEALTHY adult at all times. A healthy visitor will be defined as having no fever, cough, or respiratory symptoms. Approved visitors will still be screened by LMH staff before being allowed in the facility for any respiratory symptoms, fever, or possible exposure. Visitors under the age of 18 (including the children of OB patients) are still not allowed on the LMH campus, under any circumstances. 

No additional changes

At this time, there are no changes in restricted access. Patients can continue to enter through the designated entrances:

  • LMH Main Lobby: 6:30 am – 5 pm, Monday – Friday
  • Medical Office Building East: 6 am – 5 pm, Monday – Friday
  • ER: evenings after 5 pm, weekends, 24/7

Thank you for understanding

We realize that this is an additional inconvenience, but it is one more step we can take to protect our patients, our staff, and our community. Additional changes will be made as LMH’s response to COVID-19 evolves. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this difficult and unprecedented time.
