Health, safety, and hand hygiene

To maintain the healthiest environment possible and to avoid infection of patients, visitors are screened for contagious diseases. Please do not bring children to visit if they display signs of contagious diseases or have been recently exposed to measles or chickenpox.

The best way to prevent infection is to wash your hands often and well. All of us carry germs.
