HILLSDALE, MI (WTVB) – Officials at Hillsdale Hospital say they once again have opened up limited visitation for patients due to decreasing rates of new COVID-19 cases in the county.
Director of marketing and development Rachel Lott says, “We are encouraged by the decreasing number of new cases in the county and feel confident that visitors can return to the hospital without posing significant risks to patients or staff. We are still limiting the number of visitors and in what areas they will be permitted, but we recognize how important it is for patients to have their loved ones involved and present in their care, so we are opening up visitation where we can. We are still unable to allow visitors for our skilled nursing facility units, McGuire and MacRitchie, due to federal requirements, so we are continuing to offer virtual visits for our patients and residents.”
Hospital officials say they have taken measures to keep staff, patients and visitors safe during the pandemic. Those measures include increased cleaning, screening, mask usage, hand washing and social distancing.
