With respiratory infections increasing in the community, Tower Health is implementing new measures to safeguard patients, visitors, and healthcare staff. Starting Thursday, February 13, 2025, inpatient visitation at all Tower Health hospitals and rehabilitation facilities will be restricted to two visitors per patient. The policy encourages these visitors to remain consistent each day to minimize exposure risks. All other visitation guidelines will continue unchanged.

To enhance safety, Tower Health advises all visitors, staff, and providers to wear facility-provided masks while inside the buildings. Masks are mandatory in units with high numbers of respiratory illness cases. Free masks are available at all entrances and nursing units. "Thank you for helping us protect our patients, your loved ones, and each other."
