Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information and Resources for Community Members

Columbus Community Hospital (CCH) is continuously adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please see below, as our patient and visitor policies have changed.

Patient and visitor policies

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are constantly working to create new procedures to protect our employees, patients and visitors.

CCH is offering many programs and services that were put on hold due to COVID-19. Elective surgeries are available, and all of the hospital's clinics are seeing patients.

CCH also removed visitor restrictions. Patients no longer are limited to a specific number of support people, and visitors younger than 19 now are welcome.

Effective April 1, 2022, patients and visitors will no longer be required to pass a symptom or temperature screening; however, to protect the safety of its patients, staff and community members, CCH requires everyone to wear a mask within its facilities and clinics.

The hospital discourages using gaiters or bandanas, as research has found that these masks are not as effective as other masks. Approved masks are available throughout the hospital if needed.

The main entrance is open for patients and visitors from 5 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The emergency department remains open 24/7.
