Dear patient,
When it comes to your health, knowledge and action are the best defenses. At Community Hospital Anderson, we have implemented some policies to protect our patients, staff and visitors:
- No visitors ages 14 and under.
- Maximum of two visitors per patient at all times.
- Only the parents or guardians of Pediatric Unit inpatients are permitted to visit.
These policies were implemented on Wednesday, Oct. 14, and will remain in effect until further notice.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and your family. We also ask you to be patient and understand that wait times may be longer than normal due to increased volume and hygiene precautions.
All of us must work together to prevent or slow the spread of infection. Please see below for tips on when you should seek immediate care for you or your family.
In good health,
William C. VanNess, II, M.D.
President and CEO, Community Hospital Anderson
