Visiting Patients

At SHN, we value the important role that families and visitors play in supporting patients. We are also committed to the safety of patients, families, and our health care teams.

Due to COVID-19, our visitor policy has changed.

All known COVID-19 positive patients will not be allowed visitors.

To support physical distancing, patients and their families must designate only one visitor or support person to be the sole visitor for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. This visitor will be permitted entry only once per day. No visitors under the age of 16 are permitted at this time.

SHN will work with our patients and their loved ones to encourage and support alternative forms of communication and interaction during this time, including virtual and telephone visits. This change is difficult for patients and for families, and we appreciate how hard it can be to not see your loved ones.

For questions regarding the new visitor policy, please contact the unit directly.

You can contact Patient Relations at each of our hospitals for questions or concerns relating to our new Visitor Policy:
