Some Alaska hospitals allowing visitors

35

Providence Alaska Medical Center moved from “red” to “orange” level on Wednesday, which means limited visitors will be allowed after the no-visitor policy that had been in effect for many months due to Covid-19 case loads.

Alaska Regional Hospital had relaxed its visitor policy last week.

Neither hospital allows visitors for Covid-positive patients except pediatric, maternity, and end of life.

  • Patients who are at end-of-life.
  • Patients with disabilities or special needs are reviewed on an individual basis.
  • Patients seeking care in the emergency department will not be able to have a support person accompany them to the treatment room, unless the patient is a minor or has special needs.
