Limited visitors allowed at NHCH
Queen’s North Hawaii Community Hospital is permitting one screened visitor with proof of vaccination to visit patients at the Waimea facility.
Visiting hours for inpatients are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Visitors must be over 18 years of age and are required to have had their final dose of an FDA-EUA COVID- 19 vaccination, providing proof with a vaccination card or an electronic copy. Visitors are required to wear a surgical mask over their nose and mouth at all times and no eating or drinking is allowed. Out-of-state and international visitors must also present proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
Limited exceptions to the vaccination requirement may be made in certain situations such as pediatric or maternity patients and end-of-life care; additional screening will be required. Visitors will continue to not be allowed for COVID or infusion patients.
“We recognize the importance of family in the healing process and believe we can safely support a more patient-centered care environment by allowing a vaccinated visitor who has also undergone our screening process,” said QNHCH President Cindy Kamikawa.
