In an effort to keep our patients, visitors and staff safe, San Juan Regional Medical Center is enhancing its current flu season visitor guidelines. These guidelines should be followed for the safety of your family and others in our care.

• Please, only well visitors. Anyone with a fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea should refrain from visiting patients in the hospital or Emergency Room.
• No visitors under 14 years old.
• If you arrive as a patient and have a fever, cough or sore throat, please ask for a mask and wear it.
• Visitors MUST wash their hands before entering a patient room and upon leaving the room.
• Patients, visitors, and staff are all asked to wash their hands frequently with soap and water or use hand sanitizer.

San Juan Regional Medical Center reminds our community to be prepared, not panicked, when it comes to coronavirus. The majority of illnesses associated with COVID-19 are mild and do not require hospitalization. If you feel you may have been exposed, please contact your primary care provider for further guidance. If you don’t have a primary care provider, contact the state of New Mexico’s 24/7 hotline at 855.600.3453. 

Remember, there are things you can do to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

• Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Stay home when you are sick. DO NOT come and visit patients at the hospital.
