Visitation information

  • Hospital visitation hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and during business hours for clinic settings 7 days a week.
  • Maximum number of visitors at the bedside is determined at the discretion of the care team. Some units and clinics may have more or less restrictive visitation policies based on limitations of unit/room size and vulnerable patients.
  • Visitors can be any age in most areas, but there are some exceptions for young children as described below.
  • Masks are optional in facilities. However, if you’re feeling sick, we strongly recommend you mask, sneeze or cough into your arm or elbow, and wash/sterilize your hands frequently. Also, some areas of the facility may still require masking because they care for vulnerable patients. The care team will inform you of precaution guidelines at their discretion.
  • If a visitor is sick, they should not visit unless seeking care for themselves.

Visitation guidelines by clinical area

Emergency Departments (EDs, also known as Emergency Rooms or ERs)

  • Visitation may be limited because of facility resources and patient treatments. More information will be made available upon arrival.

Critical Care (adult or ICU, pediatric or PICU, and neonatal or NICU)

  • Visitation hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  • No children under 5 years old in the NICU.
  • Visitors may be required to wear a mask in the unit because of vulnerable patients. The care team will let you know.

Pediatric (Kids) Units

  • Visitation hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Behavioral Health (high-risk populations)

  • Check with the unit for visitation details as they may vary by location.

Routine infection prevention requirements may be required in certain sensitive areas when visiting vulnerable patients as they were before the COVID-19 pandemic. Local care teams will inform you if these precautions are necessary for compliance with CMS and OSHA regulations for healthcare facilities. Intermountain will continue monitoring local and national health conditions and may adjust its policies accordingly. Additionally, we will always comply with federal, state, and local requirements, and when possible, attempt to align with clinical partners and peers in our geographic regions.
