Effective immediately across CHI St. Joseph health facilities

Out of an abundance of caution and in an effort to further prevent the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), CHI St. Joseph Health are enhancing the visitor policy across all CHI St. Joseph Health facilities across the Brazos Valley while taking into account market-specific epidemiologic factors.

The modified visitor policy limits the number of visitors to two (2) adult visitors per patient per day for patients who are not in isolation and one (1) adult visitor per patient per day for patients who are in isolation. Signage on the patient’s door will indicate if they are in isolation. Visiting hours have shifted to 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at all hospital locations.

The new policy also limits the number of entry points at each facility. Additionally, visitors may be asked to wear a mask, gown, or gloves depending on the health condition of the patient they are visiting. Visitors may be screened upon entering the hospital and visitors who are ill will not be allowed to enter the facility unless seeking care. Visitors will be instructed not to visit common areas, such as cafeterias, waiting rooms, lobbies, and gift shops.

Below are facilities impacted by the modified visitor policy:

CHI St. Joseph Health (serving the Brazos Valley community)

CHI St. Joseph Health Regional Hospital

CHI St. Joseph Health Grimes Hospital

CHI St. Joseph Health Madison Hospital

CHI St. Joseph Health Burleson Hospital
