Patients are allowed to have two (2) WELL visitors, with the exception of COVID-19 patients. Nursing units have the ability to customize patient visitation based on a patient's condition and individual needs.
Upon entering the facility, visitors will be attesting they are not experiencing any COVID-19-related symptoms with no known cause and have not been exposed to anyone with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 test without wearing PPE for the past 14 days.
Masks are no longer required for visitors or employees as a routine practice providing the COVID-19 community transmission rate is not high. Masking requirements will be updated on a weekly basis and signs posted at all entrances indicating the level of transmission.
These restrictions are in compliance with the state of Oklahoma No Patient Left Alone Act.
Southwestern Medical Center is not currently administering COVID-19 vaccines.
If you have specific questions about eligibility or would like to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, please refer to the Oklahoma State Department of Health website or call the OSDH Immunization Service Team at 405.426.8580.

Visiting a provider does not necessarily mean you need testing or that you will receive testing. Your provider will work with the local health department to follow all appropriate guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Oklahoma State Department of Health to determine if testing is recommended based on your symptoms.
