(KTTS News) — Governor Parson has signed the No Patient Left Alone Act into law.

It protects the rights of patients and families during a medical stay.

It lets a spouse or guardian and at least one support person to stay with the patient at all times.

Patients can designate at least three essential support persons.

Today, I signed 7 pieces of legislation into law, including HB 2116, which establishes the No Patient Left Alone Act.
Patients should not be isolated from loved ones when in critical care, & now they don’t have to be.

Lucky to have some great help signing bills today too! pic.twitter.com/heR8NVGjt3
