Inpatient Visitation Restricted

Marshfield Medical Center-Beaver Dam is indefinitely restricting inpatient visitation effective Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 5 p.m. At this time, no visitors will be allowed into our inpatient unit, with the following exceptions:

  • One birth partner per delivering mother
  • End-of-life situations — two adult visitors
  • If a patient is a minor child they will be accompanied by one parent or guardian

Other areas, including outpatient surgery, clinics and emergency services, are not currently affected, but restrictions for Hillside Manor, Eagle’s Wings and Remembrance Home remain in effect.https://bdch.com/sites/bdch.com/assets/images/news/72411999_2521327671283865_8642162437996412928_o.jpg

With active COVID-19 cases and hospitalization rates in and around Dodge County continuing to rise, and the flu season just around the corner, Marshfield Medical Center-Beaver Dam is taking these measures to ensure the health and safety of all who enter our facilities. While we understand it can be difficult for patients and their loved ones, visitation restrictions help limit the number of people in our facilities, which supports social distancing and limits opportunities for spread of the virus. 

“These decisions are never easy, but our community can always trust that safety is our top priority,” said Angelia Foster, Chief Administrative Officer. “The safeguards we have in place, including mandatory masking, screening for all who enter our facilities, and utilization of proper personal protective equipment mean patients can feel assured it is safe to entrust us with their care.”

Processes have been established to ensure loved ones are able to connect virtually either over the phone or through video. Friends and family can either utilize their personal devices or use the virtual visitation room in the hospital’s main lobby. Those wishing to use our virtual visitation room can set up a time with their loved one by calling 920-887-6617. To use a personal device, family and friends should call 920-887-7181 and ask for the nurse’s station. Information about the availability of virtual visits will also be posted in each patient room.
