Contacting a Family Member in COVID-19 Unit: In the interest of safety for patients and our staff, GRMC is not allowing visitors for COVID-19 patients at this time. Given this, we understand that communication with families is important and are modifying our communication plans to meet this need. Due to the volume of patients and resources required to care for COVID-19 patients, GRMC requests that families assist us with the flow of information by designating one family member as the “family spokesperson” to receive updates from GRMC staff about your loved one; this spokesperson can then share updates with other family members.

The designated family spokesperson will hear from a care team member daily for regular updates or more frequently if the patient’s condition or treatment changes significantly.
