The decision to allow two support persons for adult inpatients and adult outpatient surgery patients provides flexibility to accommodate work and family responsibilities and ensures patients do not have to face their medical situation alone.
As of Monday, Sept 13, previous pediatric visitation guidance remains in place.
Penn State Health says it will continue to provide iPad availability for communications between care teams, patients and their families, and screen all family and support persons who wish to enter the facility to prevent those COVID symptoms from entering.
