Visitation Policy

If you have flu-like or pneumonia-like symptoms such as a fever, cough, shortness of breath and/or chills, please do not visit patients in the hospital. If you need treatment, please contact your primary care provider.

At Conway Medical Center the health and safety of our patients and staff is always our top priority. It is a big reason we have received 4 “A’s” in a row from Leapfrog for Hospital Safety. Whether it’s the middle of a pandemic or normal times, you can trust our team to keep you and your family safe.

As Conway Medical Center’s leadership team continues to assess the COVID-19 crisis and the impacts on our hospital, staff, and patients, CMC has revised our visitor policy.

Patients and Visitors coming to the main CMC campus for non-emergency related care must enter through one of the following entrances:

Main Entrance. This entrance is open from 7am to 9pm.
Patient Access. This entrance is open from 6am to 9pm.
North Tower. This entrance is open from 6am to 5pm.
Medical Arts Building. This entrance is open 7am to 4:45pm.

For all COVID positive or Suspected COVID patients, the visitor policy will be:

Two visitors on any given day. They must arrive together. A nurse will train, educate and assist them with PPE.
Once the visitor(s) leave the room, the visit for that day is complete and they cannot return until the following day.

Masks Required

Masking is required in CMC facilities.

If you have recently received a positive COVID test, been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, or have any COVID-19 symptoms, please do not visit a patient or loved one in our facility. If you are in need of medical attention for COVID-19 or related symptoms, please call 843-347-8000 to schedule an appointment with a primary care provider.

Visitation Policy

Effective Tuesday, July 28, 2021:

Conway Medical Center will only allow one visitor at a time per patient. Additional visitors must wait outside of the facility until they are able to switch with another family member. Exceptions: Laboring mothers, pediatric patients, end-of-life situations.
No visitors are allowed in the Emergency Department except for pediatric and elderly patients.
No visitors are allowed for COVID-19 patients in isolation, except under end-of-life or other special circumstances.

Visiting hours are from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. In addition, all entrances to the hospital will re-open.

Masking requirements remain in effect.

Universal masking of all visitors, patients, and staff will remain in effect at CMC and all clinics. The CDC indicates that masks are required in healthcare settings. The CDC has emphasized that new masking recommendations for people fully vaccinated for COVID-19 do not apply to healthcare settings. CMC will follow this guidance and enforce masking requirements for the protection of our patients, visitors, and staff.

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, CMC will adapt policies as needed and appropriate.
