Children's Hospital & Medical Center We're seeing fewer patients with influenza here at Children's and around the community. That means Children's is returning to its normal visitors policy and easing restrictions that had been in effect for the past month. We do encourage guests to act responsibly and postpone their visit if they are showing signs of i...llness including fever, cough, sore throat, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, or nausea. Thank you for your patience these past four weeks!

Children's Hospital & Medical Center As we navigate this unprecedented flu season, Children's has made changes to its visitors policy. Only parents, guardians, grandparents and siblings ages 14 and older can visit. Masks are required before entering any patient care area. We do not know how long these changes will last, perhaps for the duration of the ...flu season. It was a difficult decision because we recognize the importance of a family support system, and the strain such limits can cause. But ultimately, it is our responsibility to do all we can to keep Children's a safe place for our patients, their families and our employees.
