Cheyenne Regional Medical Center [CRMC] has announced the easing of restrictions on visitors imposed earlier this year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a news release, the decision to ease the restrictions was reached because of the stabilization of coronavirus metrics in the community. Future changes in the CRMC visitor policy are possible as conditions change.

According to the release, the policy for hospital visitors now includes the following rules:

    • End-of-life patients: Two visitors are allowed.
    • No visitors are allowed in Behavioral Health Services due to social distancing limitations in this area.
    • Additional visitation exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
