Visitor Restrictions, Limited Entry Points, and Other Precautionary Measures September 13, 2021 ASHLEY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER IMPLEMENTS ONE WELL VISITOR POLICY Due to an increase in community transmission of COVID-19, Ashley Regional Medical Center restricts visitors, effective immediately VERNAL, UT (9/13/21) – Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases and the increased rate of transmission in the area, Ashley Regional Medical Center will be enforcing a one well visitor policy effective today (9/13/21) for all inpatient units and outpatient areas. “As always, the safety of our patients, providers and team members continues to be our top priority as we continue to navigate this pandemic, and we will not waver in this commitment,” said Wes Taylor, CEO of Ashley Regional Medical Center. “We continue to take all of the necessary precautions in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in our facilities, and we want to reassure our communities that it is still safe to come to our hospital and clinics should you or your family need care.” An exception for the one well visitor policy for end-of-life care will be made for end-of-life and medical necessity as determined by the care team. Ashley Regional Medical Center continues to take all the necessary precautions to keep our patients and staff safe by isolating our COVID-19 patients, enforcing a universal masking policy, implementing the most effective cleaning and disinfecting protocols, and enhancing safety with new personal protective equipment protocols. These protective measures for managing infectious diseases ensure that our facilities are always safe for you and your loved ones when you need care. “We understand these visitor restrictions may be difficult for many in our community, and we apologize for any inconvenience they may cause. However, we feel these protective measures are necessary for the health and safety of our patients and team. Our team, along with our community partners, are monitoring COVID-19 closely, and we will reassess and adjust the visitor policy as the number of positive cases declines locally and when we feel it’s safe and appropriate to do so,” said Taylor. April 8, 2021 At Ashley Regional Medical Center, protecting the health and safety of our team members and the patients we serve is our number one priority. We are encouraged by the progress we are making across the country and here in our state toward reducing the prevalence of COVID-19. However, we are not out of the woods yet. Now is simply not the time to let our guard down. That’s why even though Utah has lifted the mask mandate, Ashley Regional is still requiring masks to be worn inside our facility by patients, providers, employees and visitors for the foreseeable future. We believe this is in the best interests of our team and the valued patients we serve. We will continue to evaluate our policies moving forward based on the evolving situation in our community and will communicate any updates as we have them. We must all remember to stay vigilant in wearing our masks, washing our hands and practicing social distancing. Importantly, as soon as you have the opportunity, we encourage everyone to please consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Let’s encourage each other and our friends and neighbors to join us in becoming a #vaccinehero.
