Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
Effective Wednesday, January 20, 2021, DeTar Healthcare System’s visitation policy will allow one adult visitor per patient per stay. This change applies to patients in our inpatient, outpatient and emergency departments. Visitors are required to wear face masks the entire time they are on premises. Visiting hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Visitors will check in and out at the screening desk at each facility. These desks are located at the following locations:
- DeTar Hospital Navarro Main Entrance
- Open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Visitors leaving after 3 p.m. will exit through the emergency department entrance
- DeTar Hospital Navarro Emergency Department Entrance
- Open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Visitors arriving after 8 p.m. will be checked in by the emergency department registration staff
- DeTar Hospital North Main Entrance
- Open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Visitors leaving the hospital after 6 p.m. will exit through the emergency department entrance
- Emergency Department Walk-In Entrance
- Open weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Open weekends from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m
The following guidelines have been established to protect the safety and health of the patients, physicians and staff at DeTar Healthcare System:
- Visitors must be 18-years-old or over
- Hospital staff will screen all visitors using the most current CDC guidelines—this includes temperature checks
- Those identified to be at risk for COVID-19 during the screening procedure will not be allowed to enter the facility unless seeking emergency medical assistance
- Visitors must bring and wear a face covering while inside DeTar Healthcare System facilities
- Patients who are in respiratory isolation are not allowed visitors
While at the hospital, we ask that visitors continue to follow the CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 public health crisis, including wearing face coverings, practicing social distancing and washing hands.
Family members and friends who are unable to visit are encouraged to find creative ways to stay in touch with hospitalized loved ones by calling, emailing, texting or video chatting. Flowers, gifts, cards or other remembrances can be dropped off at the front desk, and DeTar Healthcare System will deliver to the patient room.
This is an extraordinary time, and we appreciate your understanding and compliance. We look forward to caring for you and your family.
At DeTar Healthcare System, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
