Lebanon’s Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center has loosened restrictions on visitors, reports WCAX.
Visitors will now be allowed in the birthing wing, the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth, in-patient surgery, and end-of-life care. Visitors had not been allowed in the facility for the past year of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, hospital officials state that new data allows for them to re-open the doors. DHMC Official Carol Majewski states, “Certainly we are still encouraging competent, able adults who can come in for an appointment without somebody, we still suggest you do that. However, we know that for cognitive, or physical reasons, or just emotional or psych-social support, people need to have somebody.”
A majority of adults will be restricted to one visitor at a time, while sick children will be allowed both of their parents.
All visitors will be required to wear masks and use DHMC’s front entrance.
