Carolina Pines revises its visitation policies
Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center in Hartsville says that due to a surge of COVID-19 positive patients within the facility, it is reverting to a zero-visitor policy, effective immediately. Exceptions: labor and delivery and outpatient surgery patients will be allowed one well support person, and pediatric patients will be allowed two well visitors. At Carolina Pines, our top priority is safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our patients, providers, employees, and community. We continue to closely monitor the prevalence of COVID-19 in our community and follow state and federal guidance as we adapt our operations to safely care for and support our patients. “Restricting visitation during this time remains one of the most difficult decisions we’ve had to make,” says Christy Moody, Chief Nursing Officer. “These additional restrictions have been put in place to help limit any potential spread of COVID-19 as cases and hospitalizations in the region increase rapidly, fueled by the Delta variant. We look forward to welcoming family and friends again when it is safe to do so.” Carolina Pines strongly encourages everyone 12 and older to get the COVID-19 vaccine, which has proven to be safe and highly effective in controlling the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccine appointments are available at the Carolina Pines Medical Group Vaccine Clinic, Suite 108, by calling 843-656-0101.
