Visitor Policy

Since the start of COVID-19 we have taken every measure to keep patients and our staff safe, including masks, increased hand sanitation, social distancing measures, and our visitor policy limiting only patients to our facility. We now feel confident we can maintain a safe environment while also allowing a max of two (2) visitors with patients in our facility as long as they meet our other requirements.

As integral pieces of a patient’s care team, it is important for a loved one(s) to be able to accompany their patient during their visit(s) to our facilities. Knowing this, Heartland Orthopedic Specialists and Alomere Health have updated their visitor restrictions to more closely align with our value of Hospitality.

Effective Immediately, the following are the new visitor guidelines at all Heartland Orthopedic Specialists and Alomere Health locations:

• 2 visitors per patient per outpatient appointment.
• All visitors must meet our COVID-19 self-screening requirements prior to entering our facilities:
  • Visitors must be healthy and not show any symptoms of COVID-19, including fever.
  • Visitors must be appropriately masked at all times, covering both the nose and mouth.
  • No visitors will be allowed for COVID-19 patients.
  • Visitors must remain in patient rooms for the duration of their visit.

Any visitor violating any of these requirements will be asked to leave Heartland Orthopedic Specialists and all of its facilities until they are able to meet these requirements.

Patients will continue to be asked for signs and symptoms of COVID-19, including feeling ill or feverish.

As stewards of our communities’ health and as health care workers, employees will continue to be monitored for signs and symptoms, including temperature checks daily upon entering the facility.

Thank you for trusting Heartland Orthopedic Specialists and Alomere Health as we welcome back our patients’ visitors and guests.
