Patients & Visitors
Effective Thursday, July 1, 2021, Carlsbad Medical Center is pleased to announce our expanded visitation hours and screening guidelines as follows:
Inpatient visitation for all units will now be permitted between the hours of 6 a.m. - 8 p.m. daily. Visitors may enter through the main lobby seven days a week, 6 a.m. - 8 p.m. After 8 p.m. visitors will need to enter and exit through the emergency department.
Upon arrival, all visitors to the facility will be asked to wear a mask, maintain social distance and sanitize their hands. By entering the facility, visitors will attest that they:
- Do not have any symptoms of COVID-19 or flu
- Do not have any new loss of taste or smell
- Do not have a fever of 100F or above
- Have not had recent unprotected close contact with a COVID-19 positive person
- Are not currently COVID-19 positive
We ask visitors to please NOT enter if you have any of the above symptoms. If you need to be seen by a healthcare provider, please proceed to the emergency room, an urgent care, or make an appointment with a primary care provider. To make an appointment online, visit www.PecosValleyDocs.com.
If you begin to feel ill while you are here, please let a receptionist know so you can be screened right away.
Social distancing methods still apply in waiting areas and throughout the facility.
The safety of our providers and employees while we deliver quality, compassionate care is our top priority. We thank our staff for their continued commitment to our patients, and we thank the community for your understanding and support during these challenging times.
At Carlsbad Medical Center, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
