To protect the health and safety of our patients, their families and our staff from the spread of COVID‐19 in our community and healthcare facilities, Sakakawea Medical Center has implemented a new visitor policy, effective Friday, March 13, 2020.
-
One visitor per patient, immediate family members only.
-
Family members must be healthy and will be verbally screened for signs of respiratory illness, including cough and fever.
-
Family members will be asked about recent travel and if they have had direct contact with a person confirmed to have COVID‐19.
Sakakawea Medical Center continues to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. It is our No. 1 priority to keep our community safe and healthy!
As a reminder, if you think you may have been exposed to COVID‐19, contact your healthcare provider at Coal Country Community Health Center by phone. If you are calling after‐hours, please contact Sakakawea Medical Center at 7017482225.

This is an opportunity for you as an individual to make an impact on the health and well-being of your community.
