Attention maternity and NICU visitors

The health and safety of our patients, visitors and employees is our primary concern.

Due to widespread influenza activity in our community, we are limiting visitation on our maternity unit and NICU:

• Parents, siblings over the age of 10 and grandparents of the newborn are permitted to visit Labor & Delivery, Mother/Baby Units and the NICU

If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, including fever, congestion, runny nose and a sore throat, we ask that you please postpone your visit.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
