    Ascension Via Christi updates visitation measures for Manhattan hospital

    Ascension Via Christi has updated some of its visitation measures.

    The Manhattan hospital announced this week that labor and delivery patients will be allowed two people during labor. Patients having a Caesarean section will be allowed one support person during the procedure. After delivery one support person will be permitted to stay throughout mom and baby’s stay.

    Elsewhere, patients undergoing outpatient procedures or testing (including same-day surgeries, Cath Lab or GI/Endoscopy procedures) will be allowed one visitor during their care. Those on inpatient (3rd floor unit) medical, surgical and at the inpatient rehabilitation unit will be allowed one designated visitor daily. ICU and critical care unit (2nd floor) patients will continue to allow one visitor during their care at designated visitation times. That will be paused if the number of COVID-19 patients in ICU reaches five.

    Patients seeking emergency care may have one person accompany them after the triage process is completed and they are determined not to be a COVID-related visit.

    The hospital says no visitors will be allowed for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients except in end-of-life situations or when a patient cannot advocate for themselves.

    ● Visitors are required to wear masks at all times while in the hospital.
    ● All visitors must be 18 years of age or older.
    ● Visitation hours are from 8:00am to 8:00pm.
    ● Travel around the facility should be limited, and visitors should use hand sanitizer
    every time they enter or leave the patient room. If assistance is needed, please use a call
    light; visitors should not wait at the nurses station or desk.
    ● Inpatient waiting room areas are closed.
