Patients & Visitors
Current Visitor Guidelines
Effective March 25, 2020, the DeTar Healthcare System is implementing a restricted access policy for all visitors to DeTar Hospital Navarro and DeTar Hospital North. We ask for your assistance in supporting your loved one’s recovery.
The safety of patients, visitors and our healthcare team members is critical to our delivery of quality medical care. When in the hospital for treatment, the best interest of our patients is to minimize unnecessary exposure to infectious or communicable diseases.
We recognize that certain situations require more flexibility and will work families in the following situations:
- Pediatric patients
- Laboring or expectant mothers
- End-of-life or critical care situations
We believe that having loved ones nearby lifts spirits, brightens moods and improves healing, and we encourage you to be creative in finding ways to communicate with your friends and family who are being cared for at our hospitals.
If you would like to drop off a card, gift or other message of encouragement, we are happy to deliver those to patients. You may also call a patient’s room so they can hear your voice and you can hear how they are doing. Our hospitals offer free Wi-Fi, so you may visit patients using Facetime or another video communication app.
We appreciate your understanding and compliance. With your help, we can maintain a safe environment for all.
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.
