Visiting Southern NH Medical Center

Visitor Policy:

At this time, due to rising numbers of cases in many states, visitation is prohibited if you have been outside New England (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut & Rhode Island) in the last 14 days.

Out of an abundance of caution for our patients and staff, visitors are limited at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center.

• Labor and Delivery: patients are currently allowed to have one (1) support person accompany them throughout their stay. That support person must remain on the unit/in the patient's room at all times throughout the patient's stay.
• Pediatrics/Special Care Nursery: one parent or guardian
• ICU: One (1) visitor per day between the hours of 2-7 PM, for those critically ill patients who cannot engage in virtual visits. Visits are at the discretion of the care team. Visitation of COVID-19 patients is not allowed.
• Med/Surg Units-one adult household member or caregiver (who remains the sole visitor, the duration of the patient’s stay) between the hours of 2-7pm. Visitation of COVID-positive patients is not allowed unless the patient is at end of life
• Immediate Care: visitors are also prohibited from entering Southern New Hampshire Health Immediate Care locations. Exceptions will be made for one (1) visitor to accompany a pediatric patient.
• At all Southern New Hampshire Health locations, patients with disabilities who need assistance due to the specifics of their disability may have one (1) designated support person with them. Specific needs may be due to altered mental status, intellectual or cognitive disability, communication barriers, or behavioral concerns. If a patient with a disability requires an accommodation that involves the presence of a family member, personal care assistant, or similar disability service provider who is knowledgeable about the management of their care, to physically or emotionally assist them during their hospitalization, this will be allowed with proper infection prevention precautions.
