Important Information About Visitor Policies and Testing

Over the past several weeks, we have experienced a dramatic surge in COVID‑19 positive patients, leading to record setting hospitalizations and infections. At UMass Memorial Medical Center, we are doing everything we can to protect our patients, our employees and our community from the harm of COVID‑19. Despite our best efforts, we continue to see so much avoidable illness and death caused by this horrible pandemic.

Tips for Virtually Connecting with Loved Ones

Due to COVID-19, UMass Memorial Medical Center currently has visitor restrictions in place. Even though you may not be able to visit with loved ones in person, you can still feel close by. Many phones, tablets and computers have free and easy ways to communicate with friends and family using video, voice or text. Follow the steps below when using your personal smartphone, tablet or computer.

Please ask a nurse or nurse manager if you or your loved ones need help obtaining a smartphone, tablet, computer or charger.
