Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, visitors must wear a hospital-approved mask properly over their nose and mouth at all times while at any Houston Healthcare facility. Non-charcoal filtered vented masks are prohibited. Any patient, visitor, or employee who arrives without an approved mask will be provided a surgical mask to replace or cover over any mask that does not meet the appropriate guidelines.
Houston Medical Center and Perry Hospital facilities may be accessed through the main lobby and/or Emergency Departments. Visitors with a cough, fever, shortness of breath, or other flu-like symptoms will not be allowed entry. Greeters at public entrances will continue to ask basic screening questions and temperature monitoring, guiding those seeking treatment to the appropriate location while assisting essential visitors as needed. Patients who require help with mobility will be assisted by a staff member. Patients who require help with communication will be provided Stratus video translation services.
Houston Healthcare Visitation Guidelines
Houston Healthcare recognizes how social interaction can be helpful to the patient’s healing process, and spending time with loved ones during a hospital stay benefits both patients and visitors alike. The following guidelines will help make your visit a pleasant experience for everyone:
At Houston Healthcare, we provide quiet areas for private meditation when needed by family, visitors, and staff.
At Houston Medical Center, our chapel is located on the 1st floor of the Main Tower past the first set of elevators.
To dial a patient’s room at Houston Medical Center, please dial (478) 975-6999 and enter the 3 or 4-digit room number when prompted.
To dial a patient’s room at Perry Hospital, dial 218 plus the room number (1501 through 1535).
Some patient areas may have restrictions or limitations on visitation based on clinically necessary or reasonable circumstances. Please check with the nursing unit to determine any restrictions and limitations.
