Visitors to Dartmouth Health Facilities

New masking policy

We are safely relaxing earlier face mask standards due to our area's drop in COVID-19 cases.

In most cases, we will not require healthy people to wear masks. There will be times a face mask is required, including when you:

  • Have signs of respiratory illness (with or without fever) such as congestion, cough, runny nose, and sore throat.
  • Have been diagnosed with respiratory illness (COVID, flu, etc.)
  • Have had a known exposure to COVID (within 7 - 10 days).

We are mask-friendly and continue to offer masks at no cost in our buildings. If you would like any member of the staff who are caring for you to wear a mask, please let us know. We are happy to wear one if you ask.
