Ferrell Hospital in Eldorado limits patient visitors to one a day

Effective on Friday, Aug. 20, Ferrell Hospital has limited visits to hospital patients to only one visitor per patient per day, due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the area. Exceptions will be made for one adult accompanying a pediatric patient and end-of-life situations.

Visitors will not be allowed to visit patients in the COVID-19 designated area of the hospital without specific direction from the patient's physician.

All visitors must check in at registration or information desk upon arrival for appropriate screening. Masks are also required.
