Visitor Restrictions

Mandatory masking

Due to the significant surge of seasonal flu, Banner Health is mandating all patients, visitors and staff to wear masks in patient areas of all Banner facilities, beginning New Year’s Day.

While patients do not have to wear masks in their hospital rooms, everyone is encouraged to wear masks in non-patient areas as well. Masks will be available at facility entrances.

Seasonal visitor restrictions

The following are season visitor restrictions in place at all entities:

• No visitors under the age of 13
  • Children under 13 must be supervised by an adult at all times in public waiting areas and cafeterias
• Don’t visit the hospital if you have:
  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Vomiting or diarrhea
• Siblings may visit new babies on the Obstetrics unit
  • Your child may be screened for illness by staff before being allowed to visit
• Please wash or sanitize your hands frequently while at the hospital

Seasonal visitor restrictions will remain in place through March 31, 2026, to help keep everyone safe during the typical flu season. These steps are in place to protect our patients, visitors, and team members while we continue providing high-quality care.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to reduce the spread of illness and keep our community healthy.

Weapons detection system

As part of our commitment to ensuring Banner Health is a safe place to work and receive care, weapon detection systems are currently utilized at several of our Banner Health hospitals. All patients and visitors will be screened upon entry into our campus buildings.
