Visiting a Patient

Hospital Visitation for Loved One

At Covenant Health, we believe patient visitation brings comfort, strength and healing to those in our care. Visitation hours are dependent upon patient preference and medical condition. The care team will use their discretion to establish the most appropriate visitation time. Visitation guidelines may change periodically. Please check our website for the most current guidelines.

LeConte Medical Center’s primary concern is for our patients’ welfare and speedy recovery. We ask that guests exercise special courtesy and sensitivity when partaking in hospital visitation. Children are allowed to visit patients (unless otherwise posted on a unit). However, for the wellness of our patients, we ask that you notify our nurses regarding children with any signs or symptoms of illness, especially colds, before entering a patient room.

We thank you for your cooperation in observing this schedule and any other visiting restrictions posted in the interest of individual patients.

Release of Patient Information

Due to federal regulations and revisions to the Patient Privacy Act, we do not give information about our patients over the phone. If you would like us to provide updates on your condition to your family, you can provide them with your personal P.I.N. code.
