Visitor Restrictions

At UP Health System – Bell, our top priority is safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our patients, providers, employees and community. We continue to closely monitor the prevalence of coronavirus (COVID-19) in our community and follow state and federal guidance as we adapt our operations to safely care for and support our patients. Our visitation policy is as follows: 

• Patients will be limited to one WELL visitor per stay, including one companion for ambulatory appointments.
• All visitors must be 18 years of age or older, will be screened upon entry and will be required to wear a mask at all times while in the facility. Visitors are encouraged to help us preserve personal protective equipment (PPE) and wear their own mask if possible.
• Visitors who do not pass the screening at entry will be asked to reschedule their visit until they are symptom-free.
• Visitors are NOT allowed for high-risk, isolation, immunocompromised, or respiratory patients who are under observation or test positive for COVID-19.
• We continue to screen everyone who enters our facilities for symptoms consistent with COVID-19, per CDC guidelines.
• Please utilize alternative methods of communication, including technology, with patients as much as possible.
