Current Visitor Guidelines

Updated: December 25, 2025

With increasing activity of respiratory viruses such as flu, COVID-19 and RSV, Franciscan Health hospitals in Lafayette, Crawfordsville and Rensselaer are implementing new visitation restrictions.

These changes only affect inpatient areas, surgery and the cancer center and do not apply to outpatient departments. The following policy goes into effect Monday, Dec. 29, 2025:

  • Visitors must be at least 18 years of age.
  • If visiting a patient who has respiratory symptoms, visitors are asked to keep a mask on and do not visit the cafeteria, coffee and gift shops or waiting rooms.
  • Those having symptoms suggestive of respiratory illness, including, but not limited to cough, fever, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, diarrhea, tiredness, headache and vomiting, will not be allowed to visit.
  • Visitors should continue to practice good hand hygiene.
  • Visitation hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The new policies are being implemented with input from Franciscan Alliance leadership and in accordance with guidelines from the CDC and Indiana Department of Health.

Franciscan Health urges everyone ages 6 months and older to get a flu shot as the first and most important step for protecting against flu viruses.
