Well Visitors Only

If you have flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea), please do not visit until you are symptom-free and have been without a fever (without fever-reducing medication) for at least 24 hours.

 

Visitor Limit

Visitors are limited to two visitors at a time.

 

Limited Visitation for Children

Visitors under the age of 14 are permitted only in special circumstances, made at the discretion of hospital leadership.

 

Emergency Department Visits

Only essential visitors should accompany patients to the Emergency Department. Others are encouraged to remain at home to reduce potential exposure to illness.

 

Patients with Flu Symptoms

If you are a patient with flu-like symptoms, please ask for a mask and wear it.

 

Hand Hygiene

Everyone is encouraged to wash their hands frequently with soap and water or use the available hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the hospital before entering and when leaving a patient room.

These visitor guidelines will remain in effect throughout the remainder of respiratory season, March 31. Together, we can all do our part to help reduce the spread of Flu, RSV and other respiratory illnesses.
