Emergency Department
Family/Visitor Policy

At Ogallala Community Hospital, we recognize the importance of having a trusted friend or family member at the bedside during a medical emergency. A limited amount of visitors are allowed at the bedside to allow medical needs to be met and privacy maintained.

• Relatives and friends are asked to remain in the emergency lobby area unless their presence is absolutely necessary for care.
• Staff will keep friends and family informed about care and treatment as much as possible.
• Additionally, we enact visitor restrictions during influenza season that includes the Emergency department.
