Parkview Medical Center Decreases Allowed Visitors
(PUEBLO November 23, 2020) – As Parkview continues to care for the community due to the COVID-19 surge, changes in the visitor policy of the hospital have been made.
Effective Monday, November 23rd, patients in the medical intensive care unit, neuro intensive care unit and cardio vascular intensive care unit will not be allowed to have visitors. Floors caring COVID-19 patients will remain at no visitors.
For all other areas, visiting hours remain from 10:00am to 8:00pm. Patients are allowed only one visitor in a 24-hour period. That same visitor may leave and reenter during the 24-hour period.
