Bon Secours is lifting visitation restrictions for those under the age of 16 that were put into place at its Greenville hospitals earlier this year to ensure the safety of its patients, visitors, and staff. 

The restrictions, which were put into place based on rising respiratory illnesses within the local community, will be lifted beginning April 1.

At that time, Bon Secours facilities will return to normal visitation procedures which allow visitation for children ages 16 and under who are accompanied by an adult. 

For the full visitor policy, go to:
