On September 10, Banner Health changed its visitor restrictions at hospitals in the metropolitan Phoenix, Tucson and Casa Grande areas. One visitor per patient per day is now permitted for most in-patients. Out-patient buildings and out-patient services attached to hospitals (e.g. emergency room, out-patient treatment centers, etc.) still do not permit visitors with few exceptions.
Visits for most patients will be permitted from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a maximum duration of 3 hours. More details about the changes, including a list of exceptions, can be found here: https://bit.ly/3hAAqxn. Check out the tips below.
