Visitation Guidelines

Wellstar Health System has enhanced our visitor policy as part of our commitment to providing a safe environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every hospital is assigned a color reflecting its current visitation policy based on the number of active COVID-19 cases in each local community. The level of COVID-19 infections determines when and how many essential caregivers—patient advocates, family members and loved ones—can visit at this time.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work together to keep your loved one safe and healthy. If you have questions about the visitation policy, please call your local Wellstar hospital.


Green Positive COVID-19 case levels are ongoing or low. Two essential caregivers (visitors) are permitted in most areas from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Yellow Positive COVID-19 case levels are elevated. No essential caregivers (visitors) are permitted in most areas.

Red Positive COVID-19 case levels are high. No essential caregivers (visitors) are permitted.


Essential Caregiver (Visitor)

  • Wear required personal protective equipment within the hospital.
  • Take necessary precautions to stay healthy at all times, which includes wearing a mask, social distancing and frequently washing hands.
  • Check the Wellstar webpage or call the hospital’s main phone number and listen to the updated recording prior to arriving to ensure visitation is permitted.
  • Help maintain and secure patient belongings.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact and help communicate to the patent’s family and friends.
  • Provide emotional support to your loved one in partnership with the clinical team.
  • Attend Interdisciplinary Rounds, when possible.
  • Assist with providing relevant history about the patient’s care.
  • Please follow all instructions from the care team.

Food Options

Inpatient Meals

Catering to over 100 specialized diets, patients choose their meals through a diet liaison.

Visitors Food Options

The cafeteria is located in the first floor breezeway of the West Georgia Medical Center. During the week, three meals a day are served in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is open from 6:30 AM to 9:15 AM Monday through Friday for breakfast, 11:30AM to 1:30 PM for lunch, and 5:00 to 6:45 PM for dinner. No breakfast is served on weekends or holidays. In order to avoid delays for both visitors and employees, it is requested that visitors use the main cafeteria between noon and 1:30 PM for lunch. Snacks are available in the lounge adjacent to the cafeteria and in the Expressions from the Heart gift shop.

A Thoughtful Gift for Those in Need

Our hospital gift shop, Expressions from the Heart, specializes in unique items that show you care. Our experts sort through thousands of potential gift ideas to offer you the best selection at reasonable prices.

Preventing Cancer with Wellstar’s Genetics Experts

While Wellstar’s expert cancer specialists are well-equipped to help their patients fight cancer, they’re also dedicated to stopping cancer before it starts.  

Part of preventing cancer is knowing your risk and taking action early. Wellstar’s Genetic Risk Assessment Program helps patients determine whether they may be at higher risk for some cancers.  

At Wellstar, our focus is PeopleCare: personalized healthcare tailored just for you. For cancer care, that means taking a close look at what makes you unique — your distinct genetic makeup that sets you apart. Genetic counselors use a compassionate approach to guide patients and their families so they can make informed healthcare decisions. 

“We are the busiest genetic counseling program in Georgia,” said Dr. Michael Andrews, Wellstar’s chief cancer officer. “Cancer care now is very genetically-based, and the specialists in our program can look for certain abnormalities and adapt treatments based on what they find.” 

Halting Hereditary Cancers

Genetic mutations play a major role in about 5 to 10% of cancers. A patient with a family history of cancer who learns they have specific genetic mutations can partner with their provider to be more proactive, whether that involves screening, lifestyle changes or medical treatments. Taking a few proactive steps could prevent cancer, even if the patient’s genetics may put them at a higher risk.  

Genetic testing can also benefit cancer patients and empower their whole families with important information. If a cancer patient learns they carry a mutation, it can help relatives decide if they could benefit from genetic testing. Also, people who have certain cancers and also have specific DNA sequences may benefit from targeted therapies. 

Some possible signs of hereditary cancer include: 

  • Unusually early age of cancer onset
  • Multiple primary cancers in a single patient
  • Cancer in paired organs (such as in cancer in both breasts)
  • Multi-generational cancers
  • Rare tumors
  • An unusual presentation, such as male breast cancer
  • Belonging to an ethnic group known to be at high risk for hereditary cancers
  • No environmental explanation for the cancer

Some gene mutations can increase your cancer risk, so if your provider finds that you are affected, they may recommend increased screenings and other precautions to monitor your health. 

  • TP53: This gene produces a protein that slows down tumor growth. Mutations in this gene can cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which puts patients at an increased risk for developing some cancers. 
  • BRCA1 and BRCA2: Mutations in these genes increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, as well as pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and male breast cancer.
  • PTEN: This gene also stops tumor growth. Mutations in this gene are associated with Cowden syndrome, a disorder that increases the risk of breast, thyroid, endometrial and other forms of cancer. 

Take charge of your health — and maybe help out a family member, too — by learning more about how your genetics could affect your cancer risk. Call (470) 793-7472 to book an appointment with a Wellstar genetic counselor. Both in-person and virtual visits are available. Learn more at wellstar.org/cancercare.

JohnCare

It seems "defeat" just isn't in John Cashen's vocabulary. A survivor in more ways than one, John has overcome not only a catastrophic natural disaster, but also fought cancer with unyielding resilience.

In 2005, as flood waters from Hurricane Katrina rose and threatened his New Orleans home, John took an axe to his attic's ceiling, climbed atop his roof and tied himself to his chimney so he wouldn't be swept away. Days later, no help had arrived, so John untied himself and swam to an overpass where he was rescued by a helicopter. He joined the rest of his family in Georgia.

Since then, John has become a proud citizen of LaGrange. A master of everything Mardi Gras, John runs a local krewe and is a natural at building parade floats from the foundation up. But when he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2019, he summoned his fighting spirit, squared his shoulders, and faced his cancer journey head on.

BrettCare

After working in construction for over 20 years, Brett Faucett knows all about the right building blocks. Piece by piece, a building comes together, but if one brick falls out of line, the whole system can crumble.

That’s why Brett knew something was wrong when the numbness started in his left arm. It came and went several times before he ended up behind the wheel of his car.

Sitting at an intersection, Brett was at a crossroads. He could turn right, attend his out-of-town business meeting, and ignore the sinking feeling inside. Or he could turn left and drive straight to the emergency department at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital.

“It’s really hard when you plan on going to work and you know people are counting on you. It’s hard to make that left turn and listen to your body.”

Brett took a deep breath and turned the wheel toward the hospital, forever changing the course of his life.
