    10/14/2020 - COVID-19 Changes:
    UnityPoint Health – Des Moines, MercyOne – Des Moines and Broadlawns Medical Center maintain the current visitor restrictions for the safety of our patients and team members. However, we recognize the importance of having a support person available for a patient’s well-being.

    With some exceptions, one support person will be permitted to be with a patient per day during hours set by each hospital. This change will be effective Wednesday, October 14, 2020. NOTE: Hospitals may further restrict visitation in certain situations. 
    All support person(s) are required to:

    • Be 16 years of age or older. 
    • Be free of any signs of illness and will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19. 
    • If the support person is not feeling well, they should not visit. 
    • Individuals at high risk for severe disease (e.g., underlying cardiopulmonary disease, poorly controlled diabetes) should not consider this role.  
    • The support person must wear a properly applied facemask the entire time they are in the facility and in the patient room. They must practice hand hygiene and physical distancing.
    • Abide by the hospital’s support person-hours and guidelines. Each hospital may have different hours the support person can be present and additional guidelines to follow. 
    Thank you for your cooperation in this effort. For up-to-date information related to COVID-19, please visit www.polkcountyiowa.gov/health.
