Patient Visiting Policy Changes During Flu Season

To help our patients and staff avoid the flu:

  • Immediate family only should visit (spouses/parents, siblings, grandparents or children age 14 and older).
  • Children under 14 years of age are asked not to come to the hospital unless they are patients.
  • Only two visitors per patient at a time.
  • Individuals with fever, cough or respiratory symptoms should not visit.
  • People in contact with someone with flu-like illness in the last two days may be carrying the flu and be contagious. We ask that they do not visit.
