West Tennessee Healthcare is taking precautions to prevent the spread of illness to patients and healthcare workers. All visitors will now be screened as they come into any WTH facilities.
UPDATE as of 3/19/2020 to the visitation policy:
NO visitors will be permitted to our inpatient facilities. The only exceptions will be:
One parent or legal guardian of the patient who is a minor.
Obstetric patients may have one support person to accompany them.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients may have two parents who must remain in the room the duration of the visit.
Patients at end-of-life may have a very limited number of visitors who must remain in the room for the duration of the visit.
Patients undergoing surgery or procedures may have one visitor before and immediately after the procedure/surgery.
If a single, approved designated visitor meets an exception, this individual must be determined at the time of hospitalization and may not be changed during hospital stay.
