Visitation Philosophy
- Visitation will be based on each patient’s unique needs and physical status.
- Families are encouraged to use discretion and judgment when visiting patients.
- Children, grandchildren, and friends of the patient, regardless of age, are permitted brief and quiet visits.
- If possible, please designate one family member to call the department for the patient’s condition.
- The nursing staff may limit your visit or ask you to come back later if that is in the best interest of the patient.
- It is preferred that there no more than three visitors per patient at one time.
- If you have a fever or cough, please refrain from visiting. If it is necessary that you visit, please ask for a mask before entering the patient’s room.
Visiting Hours
Visitors are important to our patients as they can enhance the recovery process. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to our visiting policies. Visiting hours will be enforced to respect the privacy and ensure the recovery of all our patients. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping us keep the hospital environment quiet and tranquil as possible to enhance the healing process.
*NOTE: All visiting hours and restrictions are subject to change.
Other Visitor Guidelines
Patient and resident care is our number one priority, and Winona Health has a patient/resident-focused approach to welcoming visitors. Patients and residents can accept visitors based on what they feel is best for their overall health and well-being. A few guidelines for visitors to keep in mind:
- People who are recovering or not feeling well need extra rest.
- People with colds, sore throats or any contagious diseases should postpone their visit.
- Winona Health’s main campus and all affiliates are tobacco-free areas. E-cigarettes are not permitted.
- Shirts and shoes are required.
