Patients and visitors will be screened by hospital staff before entering any facility and may have to leave based on their screening results.

Inpatients: One person will be allowed to visit with his/her inpatient at any given time. Groups of visitors must wait outside the hospital and take turns visiting their family member or loved one.

Patients Scheduled for an Outpatient Procedure at any Lexington Medical Center Facility: Patients who have a scheduled procedure of any type may have one person accompany them to the procedure.

Other Visitation: Those who need to visit a Lexington Medical Center facility for other needs, such copies of medical records, job interviews, help with insurance, etc., will be expected to do so without friends or family accompanying them.

Vendors: Access will be significantly limited. Vendors delivering supplies and equipment should contact their service area and make arrangements to have supplies picked up outside the facility.
