Visiting Hours and Policy
Revised July 11, 2022
At Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, we are committed to keeping our patients and their loved ones connected while delivering safe, high-quality care. Due to heightened COVID-19 transmission in our community and for everyone’s safety, we are temporarily restricting visitation on the hospital campus. Various services are available and require different accommodations for the safety of those patients. We appreciate your understanding.
All visitors must pass a self-screening station when entering any Henry Ford Health System facility. The screening is a short series of questions about your COVID-19 status and possible symptoms. You must wear a mask or other cloth face covering for the duration of your visit; failure to do so will result in removal from our hospital. If you don’t have a mask, we will provide one for you. Visitors must refrain from eating or drinking in patient rooms or from using the bathroom in patient rooms.
Visiting hours are 9 A.M. to 8 P.M.
Visiting hours for COVID positive patients are Monday – Friday from 9 A.M. – 6 P.M. and Saturday and Sunday from 9 A.M. – 3 P.M.
