LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - MARCH 20, 2016
Visitor
Restrictions
at United
Memorial
With the continued increase in
the number of influenza cases at
United Memorial Medical Center
and in the community, the Hos-
pital will be strictly following
established visitor guidelines
and implementing restrictions in
order to safeguard the health of
our patients.
Effective March 10, 2016,
patients at United Memorial will
be allowed only two (2) visitors
at one time. No visitors under the
age of 14 years will be allowed.
Individuals with a sore throat,
runny nose, fever, or other influ-
enza type symptoms should not
visit patients.
As an organization we under-
stand the importance of loved
ones and friends in the healing
process. Exceptions to the visitor
policy must be approved by the
unit manager or nursing super-
visor prior to the visitor’s arrival
at the hospital. These restrictions
have been put into place to protect
those with weakened or fragile
immune systems and those who
care for them, from harm during
the influenza outbreak.
Everyone should remember to
use appropriate hand hygiene and
respiratory etiquette to prevent the
spread of influenza. Symptoms
may include fever, muscle aches,
sore throat, cough or nasal conges-
tion. Individuals with fever over
100.5˚F and any of the symptoms
listed are urged to stay home, seek
medical advice as necessary and
limit the number of people ex-
posed. Individuals with influenza
are contagious for 24 hours prior
to exhibiting symptoms.
