We know how important it is to be able to visit a loved one in the hospital. As a health care organization, we are dedicated to providing a healthy and safe environment for all who visit our campus and community locations. We are balancing the comfort of our patients and their families with the ongoing need for safety measures.
Per Pasadena Public Health Department, Huntington Health requires masking indoors at all times. This important infection prevention measure protects the health of our patients and caregivers. Thank you for your cooperation. In accordance with the California Department of Public Health Health Officer Order, effective September 19, 2022, Huntington Hospital no longer requires proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to visit loved ones.
Currently, our outpatient areas (see FAQS below for designated areas) and emergency department are open to one visitor per patient. The Della Martin Center has updated visitation parameters (see visiting information for specific hospital areas).
Our visitation guidelines are in place to ensure a safe environment for healing to those in our care — and those who care for them.
