Van Wert County Hospital will now prohibit visitors age 14 and younger until further notified.
The hospital has implemented this measure to protect our patients from potential H1N1 (Swine Flu) exposure.  While no H1N1 cases have been confirmed at this time in Van Wert County, this is a precautionary step.
People with a temperature, cough or who do not feel well should not visit your loved one.
In addition, reading material, e.g. magazines, newsletters, educational pamphlets, etc., have been removed. Be prepared when visiting the hospital to bring reading material. A limited amount of reading material can be purchased in the Twig III gift shop and newspaper vending machines. As an additional safety measure, toys for children have also been removed.
For questions, or additional information, please contact Linna Kelly, Infection Preventionist at 419-238-2390, ext. 324 or lkelly@vanwerthospital.org.
