Due to increased respiratory illness and pediatric respiratory hospitalizations in our community, Regional Medical Center in Manchester is implementing visitor restrictions. At this time, children under the age of 14 will not be allowed to visit patients in the hospital.
Please come alone to your healthcare appointments at Regional Family Health clinics and Regional Medical Center. We do understand there are times where it is necessary and appropriate to bring someone along with you.
By restricting visitors, our goal is to prevent unnecessary illness from being brought into the hospital. As always, we strive to protect our patients, community members and staff from getting sick when they are in our facility.
You can help reduce the spread of illness by cleaning your hands often, covering your coughs and staying home when you are sick.
