Visitors will be allowed only between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. and must remain in the patient room or in the pre-op area. Visiting hours at Methodist Fremont Health are 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Visitors must also adhere to our current masking and screening guidelines.
Exceptions to the new policy are as follows:

- NICU and postpartum infant limited to parents or parent and designated health partner.
- Dependent adult needing special assistance from a support person as determined by the care team.
- Pediatric/minor patient limited to one parent/guardian.
