Information About the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

While we are not mandating that individuals wear a mask on all occasions, we do require that people who are showing signs of respiratory illness (coughing, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, etc.) wear a mask in order to limit the spread of illness and protect others from getting sick. Masks will continue to be available upon request for anyone who wishes to wear one.

As a health system with vulnerable patients, we're continuing these requirements in alignment with recommendations from public health authorities. Our top priority is the safety of our patients, visitors, employees, and community. We will continue to provide updates about patient care and post the latest information on our Frequently Asked Questions page.
