OHSU’s Hospital Visitor Policy Has Temporarily Changed
OHSU is taking extra precautions this flu season to protect our patients.

Visitors are limited on some units. Please call in to the unit you will be visiting ahead of time to find out if there are limitations in the area you will be visiting.

Visitors under age 12 will be restricted from all units with high-risk patients. This includes all Doernbecher inpatient units, all units with expectant mothers or newborns, and all units with cancer and transplant patients.

All visitors will be screened for fever, cough or sore throat before being allowed to see our patients. Visitors with these symptoms will not be allowed to see patients.

Patients coming to OHSU for care who have these symptoms will be asked to wear a mask.

To reach an inpatient unit, call the OHSU operator at 503 494-8311.

To reach OHSU’s flu hotline, call 503 418-5440.
