Any patient checking in must tell staff and ask for a mask if they have: A fever, cold symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath); Flu symptoms (fever, chills, body aches, etc.).
Anyone under 16 years of age NOT being seen as a patient is restricted from visiting any area.
Visitor restrictions are in place. Please call to inquire about exceptions.
