Visitor Restrictions
The goal is to protect patients, their families and the McLaren Port Huron health care team. Leadership will continue to implement practices to help ensure the health and safety of everyone who enters the facility.
- All patients and visitors are required to wear a mask upon entry to the hospital.
- All visitors will be screened upon entry.
- Visitors should be healthy and must comply with our COVID-19 screening process, designed to identify symptoms of respiratory infection (fever, runny nose, cough, shortness of breath.)
- Visitors are expected to remain with the patient during their visits, unless otherwise directed by our clinical staff. No visitors will be allowed in rooms of patients with pending or positive COVID-19 tests.
Food Donations
While we appreciate the generous food donations, please consider the local schools and food pantries to assist those who are most in need. To protect our health care workers, we can ONLY accept food donations that are individually wrapped and non-perishable. We are unable to accept any liquids.
Fire Safety
We periodically conduct fire drills. If you hear an alarm, stay where you are. In the event of an actual emergency, hospital staff will notify you. The hospital is fire resistant, and our employees are well-trained in safety procedures.
