UNC Health Pardee Lifts Visitor Restrictions

Due to decreasing cases of flu and other respiratory illnesses, UNC Health Pardee lifted temporary age-based visitor restrictions, effective Wednesday, April 2.

The temporary visitor restrictions were implemented in early January to prevent the further spread of respiratory illnesses and protect our patients, teammates, and visitors. UNC Health Pardee recognizes that patients’ family members and loved ones are important to the healing process. Leadership and infectious disease experts monitor infection data and either escalate or de-escalate precautions based on the latest data.

UNC Health Pardee is a not-for-profit regional healthcare organization based in Henderson County and managed by UNC Health. The county-owned hospital was founded in 1953 in Hendersonville, NC, and is licensed for 222 acute care beds. Pardee has grown from the Henderson County Hospital to become a healthcare system that serves residents across Henderson, Haywood, Transylvania, and Buncombe counties, offering a wide range of medical services, including a comprehensive primary care physician network with FQHC status, a cancer center, three urgent care locations, four orthopedics and sports medicine clinics and a medical staff representing 43 specialties.
