Visitor Restrictions

Visitor restrictions to prevent spread of COVID-19

Last Updated: April 2 at 1:56 p.m. PT

To create a safe and secure environment for our patients and our health care workers during the COVID-19 outbreak, visitors are not allowed in any Banner Health locations. We understand this will be challenging, but we’re committed to take the necessary precautions to protect you, your family, our health care workers and the community.

There are three exceptions to the visitor restriction at hospitals:

• Pediatric patients (under the age of 18) may have one adult visitor per day.
• Laboring mothers may have one support person with them.
• Under certain conditions, patients at end-of-life may have one adult visitor for one hour.

There are two exceptions to the visitor restriction at all other locations:

• Pediatric patients (under the age of 18) may have one adult visitor with them.
• Individuals with physical or cognitive limitations or disabilities who require support may have one adult visitor with them.

Visitors are subject to a health screening at all locations to ensure they are not exhibiting symptoms of respiratory illness. In addition, we ask that visitors remain inside patients’ rooms throughout the duration of their visits. They are not permitted to enter and leave the hospital multiple times throughout the same 24-hour period. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
