Bayfront Health Seven Rivers would like to thank the community for your help in maintaining the safety of our patients, visitors and our healthcare team members. Our patient care philosophy depends greatly on engaging families to be part of the healing process.

- One caregiver for outpatient surgery and/or testing.
- End of life situations.
- Any visitor meeting these exceptions must be 18 years or older.
The main hospital entrance will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Any other time, please enter the facility through the Emergency Department entrance.
Anyone entering the facility will be screened using the following guidelines:
- Traveled from a high-risk area for COVID-19 or been on a cruise in the last 14 days

If you would like to drop off a card, gift or message of encouragement, we are happy to deliver those to patients. You may also call a patient’s room or visit patients using Facetime or another video communication app.
We appreciate the community’s understanding and compliance.
At Bayfront Health Seven Rivers, we understand that coming to the hospital as a patient or as a loved one's support person can be a difficult, often overwhelming experience. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital stay or stopping by to see friends and family, knowing where to go and what to bring will help make your visit less stressful. To make your experience easier, we want to provide you with helpful information you may need to plan your visit, such as what to expect, parking instructions, transportation and more.
Patient Pass Code
Patients receive a pass code during registration. This code serves as authorization to disclose health information for purposes such as communicating results, findings and care decisions to family members and friends who are in possession of the pass code. It is the patient’s responsibility to provide the pass code only to the people he/she wishes to have that information disclosed to. The family member or friend seeking information will need to provide the pass code to the hospital employee in order to receive any information about the patient other than general condition. Pass codes cannot be used after discharge to obtain test results.
