Masking Update

Effective July 22, 2024
Mandatory Masking: In accordance with CDC recommendations, all physicians, staff, volunteers and visitors to the Birthing Center, Special Care Nursery (SCN) and Pediatrics areas, must wear Hospital-issued masks.
Optional Masking: While mandatory masking has ended in most areas of the Hospital, we understand and fully support those who choose to wear masks. Please feel comfortable doing so according to your personal preference and health considerations.
Continued Masking: Masking remains a requirement for any staff upon the request of a patient or on a case by case basis, consistent with department policies and protocols. This includes, but is not limited to, areas with patients with myelosuppression or neutropenia.

Thank you for your continued dedication and resilience. We greatly appreciate your adherence to our masking policy over the past years and your ongoing commitment to the health and safety of our community.

Masks remain available at our main entrances.

Everyone entering any Hospital building or clinic is required to self-screen for symptoms prior to entering.
