Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital will be limiting visitors to one per stay for most patients due to Omicron variant concerns.  According to a statement, the new policy takes effect at all Providence Oregon hospitals on Wednesday.  One designated visitor per patient stay is allowed in adult inpatient units, mother/baby units, emergency departments and hospital-based outpatient and procedural areas.  Special rules apply for people with disabilities or COVID-19 and for those in behavioral health inpatient units.  Pediatric and labor & delivery patients can have two designated visitors.  To prevent the spread of disease, everyone must wear a mask in the hospital and maintain a safe physical distance of six feet.
