Flu and respiratory virus season is here. To prevent the spread of these diseases, visitor restrictions have gone into effect. Until further notice, visiting children under the age of 12 will only be allowed in the cafeteria and outpatient clinics. They will not be allowed to visit admitted patients. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we take these necessary precautions to limit the impact on our patients and the community. You can keep up to date on the restrictions on our Infection Prevention page
