Visitor Limitation to Hospital Patients

During this flu season (which includes the new H1N1 strain of influenza), we are asking our visitors to comply with the following policy in order to protect the safety of our patients and employees.

• If you are ill or experiencing flu-like symptoms, please do not visit a patient or enter the hospital until you are symptom free. Similarly, please do not visit a patient who has flu-like symptoms until they are symptom free.
• Children and young adults are highly susceptible to the H1N1 virus. Therefore, we ask that children under the age of 18 do not enter the hospital. We will lift this restriction when it is determined that the threat of the spread of H1N1 has decreased significantly.
• Children under the age of 18 (and are symptom free) who are visiting a newborn sibling may visit the maternity unit,  However, this visitation is restricted to the maternity patient rooms only. Nursery visitation is restricted to parents only.

An exception to the above restrictions includes a visitor who is critical to the patient's emotional well being and healing process.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please check our website often for any changes to this temporary policy. If you have any questions, you may also talk with a staff member at our hospital.
