The health and safety of our patients, visitors, employees, and our communities remain a top priority at Weill Cornell Medicine. Therefore, in line with the latest guidelines issued by the New York State Department of Health, we have revised our visitation policy. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Effective January 21, 2025.
Outpatient Services (Weill Cornell Medicine Practice Locations)
- Masks are strongly encouraged but not required for visitors and support persons in common areas.
- Visitors with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, diarrhea or vomiting should not visit until they are well and no longer have symptoms.
- Please seek guidance at the nursing stations, reception areas, or the information desk if you have any questions about mask requirements.
- One support person will be permitted to accompany adult patients to their appointment.
- Pediatric patients may be accompanied by two adult caregivers.
- Note: if the patient prefers to have their support person only participate virtually, we support that option. During the appointment, patients may keep in contact with a loved one through virtual means, including Skype, FaceTime, and/or phone. Staff will assist patients if needed.
Inpatient Services (NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital)
- Please refer to the hospital’s visitation policies for the latest information.
