Visitor information

HonorHealth has developed visitation guidelines to protect our patients, caregivers and visitors and limit the spread of COVID-19. The visitation levels – restricted, concerned, cautious and stable – are based on the latest COVID-19 data in Arizona and public health guidance.

Thank you for your understanding. The safety of our patients, visitors and employees is our top priority. Learn more about our safety measures.

Please note: Visitors will be screened and badged and are required to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth at all times while in our facilities. If you do not have a mask, the hospital will provide one for you. Bandanas, neck gaiters, single-ply fabric masks, valve masks or similar face coverings are not permitted.
