VISITING GUIDELINES

At the Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center, we believe in patient and family-centered care. That's why we make every effort to make your visit to the Family Birth Center convenient and comfortable.

Effective April 10, 2023, the visitation guidelines are as follows:

• Labor & Delivery/Mother/Baby
  • Two support people are allowed at a time
  • If the patient has an active infection for COVID-19 on admission, only one support person is allowed, and they must stay in the room
  • If a family member(s) has a respiratory illness, they may not enter L&D and MB
• Peds
  • Two caregivers are allowed at the bedside
  • One family member is allowed to sleep over with their child
  • Visiting hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors must be healthy and free of flu or cold symptoms. These include fever, cough, diarrhea, or sore throat.
  • Visitors under 14 years of age must be supervised by an adult. 
  • Please check in with the nursing staff before entering patient rooms. We want to make sure you are aware of the patient’s desires and any visit restrictions.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water for 15 seconds when you enter and leave.
  • Visitors who endanger the safety or disrupt the care of a patient will be required to leave.

Please note:

• Visitors with symptoms of active illness will not be allowed to visit

• Visitors under 14 years of age will be allowed, except in the NICU

• Visitors under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult other than the patient that can be responsible for their care

• The cafeteria is open for visitors without active illness

• Masks will be optional but recommended

Now that masking is no longer required universally, some of our healthcare team may not continue to wear a mask based on their personal preference. If you would like to request that your team continue to wear a mask, please let us know.

As this situation is dynamic, guidelines may be regularly reassessed and updated.

Thank you for helping us prevent the spread of infection and for partnering with us to protect our patients.

Guidelines to keep our moms and new babies safe and healthy:

• If you are not feeling well with symptoms such as a sore throat, cough, rash, runny nose, or fever, please visit by phone
• Because some people are severely allergic to latex, only non-latex balloons are allowed in the medical center
• Please keep noise to a minimum so babies can rest
• Wash your hands when you enter and leave the room
• Wash your hands before touching the baby to prevent infection
• As a visitor, you may be asked to step out of the patient room for certain care procedures

If you have any questions, please ask your doctor or your Family Birth Center team.
