Geisinger becomes the first member of Risant Health

DANVILLE, Pa. – With COVID-19 cases slowly on the decline, adult inpatients will now be allowed two designated visitors rather than one, effective Wednesday, Feb. 9. 

While patients are allowed to designate two visitors, only one will be allowed per patient in the hospital room at a time. These guidelines protect the health and safety of our patients and staff. 

The visitor must be designated and wear a wristband the entire time the patient is hospitalized. Visiting hours are between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. All patients and visitors must wear a mask when on Geisinger property, regardless of vaccination status. Visitors who do not comply with Geisinger’s policies, such as masking, will lose their visiting rights. 

For general questions and information about COVID-19, visit geisinger.org/coronavirus.
