Visitation Guidelines

Masking is optional when entering our facilities. There are some conditions that require masks based upon the patient’s condition. If you do not have a surgical mask, one will be provided to you. Please follow instructions on signage that may be posted on the patient’s door.
 
As the number of COVID-19 cases fluctuates in our community, we have established a new visitation policy for Summa Health, effective October 4, 2022: 
  • Visitation is available 24/7
  • Maternity
  • There are established hours where access to the facilities is limited and/or controlled. During these times (8:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m. daily) visitors must utilize the after-hour/night entrances.
  • All admitted patients are generally allowed two visitors at a time. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Overnight visitation is restricted to one adult visitor per patient.

Inpatient Visitation for COVID-19 Positive or Suspected Positive Patient

All patients positive or suspected positive with COVID-19 are allowed two adult visitors bedside at a time. All visitors will be provided and must wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) during visitation, including gown, gloves, non-fit tested N95 mask and eyewear protection. No cloth masks are permitted. 

All visitors must report to the main entrance of each campus:

Visitors must report to the main entrances of the hospital. Additional exceptions must be approved by the hospital’s administrator on call. Anyone with questions on visitation restrictions can contact 234.867.6314.

Friends and family with patients will not be allowed to visit if they have a cough, fever or respiratory symptoms or if they have been exposed to COVID-19. 

Summa Health acknowledges interactions with family and friends assist in the healing process and thanks everyone for their support and cooperation at this time.

We also offer Virtual Visit E-Visits for online screenings of COVID-19 and specific health conditions like COVID-19, flu, sinus infections, hay fever and allergies.

The Summa Health 24/7 COVID-19 hotline is answered by trained clinical staff to answer questions about the COVID-19 Coronavirus Disease. The call line remains open. The phone number is 234.867.6314.

Additional information and resources are also available on summahealth.org/coronavirus.

Please note: This is a rapidly changing situation. Guidelines may be updated often to reflect the community's current need. Please check these guidelines prior to each visit for the most up-to-date information.
