“We know loved ones play an important role in the healing process, and we are so grateful to be able to expand visitor access,” said Randy Christophel, President and CEO of Goshen Health. “We still need to remain vigilant and encourage others to be vaccinated for COVID-19.” 

Visitor restrictions are necessary to protect patients, healthcare workers and the public from COVID-19. Ideally, visitors are those identified as involved in on-going caregiving/support for the patient and will be able to assist with education and caregiving.

These new visitor restrictions are also posted online at GoshenHealth.com/Covid19.
