Notice for Visitors Regarding H1N1 Flu
(posted May 1, 2009)
As the swine flu continues to spread across the country, Lifespan hospitals are taking appropriate precautions to protect you and your family.
If patients’ family members or friends have flu-like symptoms, including fever and runny nose and/or sore throat and/or cough, please do not visit. If a visit is absolutely necessary, visitors should wear a mask and limit their time in the hospital.
We also provide Purell hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the hospital and encourage their frequent use to kill germs.
Again, we stress these are precautionary measures to provide the best care to all of our patients, and to protect families and staff.
