The visitation hours and age restriction are in effect for
all patient care areas including the skilled nursing units. Exceptions will be made for those visiting
patients receiving end-of-life or palliative care.
“These measures are being put in place to ensure the health
and safety of our patients, residents, and staff and are part of our
preparedness plan to protect against COVID-19,” said Norma Kerling, CEO.
“Anyone feeling ill for any reason should not come into the
hospital to visit patients or residents.
If you are coming as a patient to be seen in the Urgent Care Center and
have a cough, difficulty breathing, and a fever, please put on a mask. Masks are provided as you enter the Urgent
Care registration area,” Kerling said. “We will continue to monitor the
coronavirus situation and make the necessary changes to protect patients,
residents, staff and the community,” she said.
