Masks required at outpatient locations; visitors and support persons limited

All visitors at outpatient locations must be masked in alignment with the masking guidelines on our visitation policy page here. Patients at ChristianaCare’s outpatient services are advised to come to their appointments alone unless a support person is absolutely needed. If a support person is needed, such as a parent, guardian or spokesperson, we highly encourage that the support person be vaccinated. Outpatient practices are not requiring vaccination or a negative COVID test for visitors at this time.

All hospital visitors required to be vaccinated or have a negative COVID-19 test.

  • Inpatients in our Christiana, Wilmington and Union hospitals may have one visitor daily between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. The visitor must be 16 or older.
  • Patients having outpatient surgery may have one support person accompany them. Support persons must be 16 or older.
  • All visitors and surgical support people must show proof of vaccination OR a negative COVID-19 test within the prior 72 hours.

For the safety of our patients and caregivers, we have changed how we deliver care to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

We’re working hard to make appointments safe and convenient for you.  Depending on your medical needs, your appointments could take place in-person, by phone or by video. If an appointment or procedure must be rescheduled for some reason, we will contact you to let you know. Rest assured, all urgent needs will be addressed promptly.

Our patients can request an appointment using their patient portal account. You can create a patient portal account here.

Visitor restrictions are still in place for your protection. Please refer to our visitor policy for more details.

We align with Delaware Public Health recommendations to offer care safely. With recent changes, we are now scheduling elective surgeries and procedures. Patients who need time-sensitive, medically necessary procedures are given the highest priority.

As an added safety measure, our care providers will arrange for you to be tested for COVID-19 at a ChristianaCare laboratory before your elective procedure.
