- Individuals that do not exhibit COVID-19 symptoms and do not meet criteria will not be automatically tested for COVID-19

At Coshocton Regional Medical Center, we recognize the important role visits play in a patient’s healing process. A smile and quiet time spent with family and friends can go a long way in calming fears and aiding recovery. That’s why we welcome visitors, depending upon the condition and preference of our patient.

There may be times when visitation is restricted, such as when a patient is in the intensive care unit or is in the emergency room. In these cases, the number and age of visitors may be restricted to protect the patient and allow for appropriate care, since the care, privacy and comfort of our patients is our primary concern.

Here is information we hope will be of help to you as you plan your visit.
