Beaumont, TX, June 23, 2021) – CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System is taking another gradual step toward allowing more access to our hospital and facilities. We are updating our visitor policy to now allow for two visitors per patient room at a time. Since last fall, the policy allowed patients to have one visitor at a time.
This revision comes as the health system continues to evaluate policies and procedures throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Last month, CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System switched to a signage-based screening system, allowing visitors to check their own symptoms upon entering our facilities. The health and safety of our patients, visitors and Associates remain our top priority. As such, we will continue to carefully consider other changes that are critical to our mission and our patients.
