Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
Dear Patients and Family Members:
Your safety and that of our providers is critical to ensure you receive quality medical care. Our hospital, physicians and employees have proactively prepared to respond and provide care related to the new coronavirus, COVID-19.
We need your help to minimize exposure to infectious or communicable diseases.
Due to a large increase in positive novel coronavirus cases in Bulloch County, East Georgia Regional Medical Center has implemented further visitor restrictions (effective Friday, July 3, 2020) to ensure the health and safety of our patients, their families and our staff.
Visitors are no longer allowed.
Exceptions:
- Maternity/Women’s Pavilion patients: One (1) support person may accompany the patient
- "End of life” situations
- Individuals with a significant disability are limited to one (1) support person
- Pediatric/Minor patients (< 18 years old) may have one (1) visitor but this is limited to only parents or guardians
No visitors for confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases
Screening upon Entry
Anyone entering the hospital will continue to be screened for symptoms, have their temperature checked and screened for travel or exposure history.
You will be asked to not enter the facility if you have had symptoms in the past 24 hours or exposures in the last 14 days.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to protect the health and safety of our patients, staff and visitors.
At East Georgia Regional Medical Center, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
