What is Banner Health's visitor policy?

Banner Health's visitor policy prioritizes the safety and well-being of patients, visitors, and staff. All visitors are required to comply with certain guidelines while visiting any Banner Health facility. Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor policies may vary across locations. Visitors are encouraged to check the specific facility's website for the most up-to-date information. Generally, Banner Health ensures limited visitation to minimize potential exposure and spread of the virus. Exceptions are made for individuals in critical conditions, end-of-life situations, or for those providing essential support to patients with disabilities or cognitive impairments. Visitors must undergo symptom and temperature screenings, wear masks, practice physical distancing, and adhere to hand hygiene guidelines. It is crucial to review the facility's visitor policy before planning a visit to ensure compliance with the latest guidelines and restrictions in place.
