Visitor Guidelines

We encourage family and friends to stay connected with the patient during their stay with us. Please our guidelines below to keep everyone safe.

What to know about visiting a patient at an Intermountain facility

  • 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.

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.
