On Monday, June 8th Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital (MDMH) and its facilities
are lifting the temporary visitor restrictions. These were imposed on
March 14th; the date
COVID-19 pandemic reached Montana.
"The temporary visitor restrictions have been in place for over 12
weeks,” said Troy Hanson, Chief Operating Officer of MDMH and one
of three Incident Commanders. “Protecting patients and caregivers
as we navigate the
COVID-19 pandemic has been a top priority and a critical component of providing
quality care in a safe environment.”
“Together with our governor, community, Ravalli County Public Health
and other entities, we have controlled and managed the spread of COVID-19
throughout the state and in the valley. These efforts allowed us to reopen
all services on April 30th, and on May 5th, we began providing elective
surgeries,” shared Hanson. “During the reopening phase, we
continue to monitor and test the policies and procedures put in place
to care for all patients. We are confident that our staff and facilities
are safe and understand the importance of visitors to patients."
As we welcome visitors, we must continue to maintain a safe environment,
therefore; we must limit visitors to two per patient. In addition, the
screening process will continue for all entering MDMH facilities; this
includes a temperature check and hand hygiene. Also, you must wear a mask
and practice social distancing at all times. To conserve personal protective
equipment, when entering the MDMH facilities, please bring a mask with
you. If you are experiencing flu-like, respiratory symptoms, please call the
MDMH Respiratory Service Team at (406) 375-4762, they will assist you.
