Visitors

Community Memorial Healthcare recognizes that family presence and visitation plays an important role in your healing and recovery. It is your right to designate visitors of your choice, whether or not the visitor is related to you by blood or marriage. Visitation will not be restricted, limited, or denied based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. The hospital may limit visitation when clinically necessary or when visitation may interfere with patient care. To ensure the safety of our patients, we will restrict access into the hospital after hours and to those with potentially communicable conditions. For more information, please view our complete Visitation Guidelines.
