Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center Implements Visitor Restrictions in Emergency Department

Effective immediately (October 3, 2021), Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center will implement visitor restrictions in the Emergency Department in response to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in the community.

Visitors in the Emergency Department will be restricted as follows:

• Adult patients (18 and older) are permitted no visitors.
• Minors (under 18) are permitted one adult visitor.
• Labor and Delivery patients are permitted one adult visitor.  

Conemaugh Health System will compassionately evaluate exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Patients are encouraged to use alternative methods of communication, including FaceTime or Zoom, as much as possible. Devices are available for patient use at the hospital upon request.

Conemaugh Health System continues to encourage the community to do their part to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by getting vaccinated, wearing a mask or face covering, and practicing social distancing and proper hand hygiene.
