"Pax intrantibus, salus exeuntibus" (or variably "Intrantibus pax, exeuntibus salus") is a Latin phrase that is often translated into English as "Peace to those who enter, good health to those who depart."

On occasion, two additional words are added to the phrase, Benedictio habitantibus meaning "blessing on those who abide." [1]
