In response the recent confirmation of COVID-19 in our region and for the safety of our patients and staff, Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital has implemented the following visitor restrictions for all locations effective Saturday March 14th at 8 AM.
Visitor Restrictions:

- Visitors for maternity patients will be limited to parents/guardians or one visitor at anytime
- One visitor per patient at a time in the Hospital
- All volunteers including Auxiliary Members

- MDMH Staff who observe visitors with obvious symptoms of illness will ask that you leave and return when you are well
- All visitors are required to perform diligent hand hygiene before and after interacting with patients
- Patients who have respiratory and/or flu-like symptoms and have scheduled appointments or procedures should wear a mask and maintain proper hand hygiene

If you come to the hospital for care you may be asked to wear a mask while waiting or be placed in a designated area. Controlling the spread of communicable diseases is a community effort. Please do your part and cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective, avoid close contact with sick people, and stay home when sick.
At this time all services remain open during regular business hours and will continue to see patients as scheduled. If you are experiencing symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath and require care please call your medical provider in advance to schedule your visit whenever possible.
