Family and Visitor Restrictions
We have revised our visitor policies to align with a new
executive order from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Currently, restricted/no visitors will be allowed at any
Spectrum Health Lakeland locations (hospitals, outpatient
locations and long-term care facilities). For special
circumstances, one approved visitor will be allowed in
situations involving pediatric and maternity patients, patients
undergoing surgery, and end of life or critically ill patients.
Staying in Touch with Loved Ones
Spectrum Health Lakeland understands how important it is
to stay in touch with loved ones during this time. To stay in
contact and up to date on a patient’s medical situation we are
recommending FaceTime or other virtual calls. Visitors
can also call 269.983.8300 and ask for a patient by name
and be connected directly to their room phone number.
Event Cancellations
What we’ve learned from the spread of COVID-19 in
communities across the nation and abroad is that social
distancing and reducing opportunities for person-to-person
contact are among the most effective means of prevention.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state
officials, and others recommend not holding or participating
in large events. As a result, we have decided to cancel or
postpone many of our events through May 31, 2020. For a
complete list, visit spectrumhealthlakeland.org/covid19
"The health and safety of
our patients and visitors is
always our number one
priority, even more so when
public health situations like
this arise. Our team members
and medical staff are
well-informed and have been
trained on safe practices
to prevent the spread of
infection. Additional disease
prevention measures are
being instituted based on
collaboration with the CDC,
the Berrien County Health
Department, and our own
infectious disease experts.”
