The H1N1 influenza virus (also called the "swine flu") is now present throughout the United States. In most cases people have recovered within a week, however some people have been extremely ill and even hospitalized. To help prevent the spread of this virus and protect the health of our patients, visitors, and associates, Carondelet has placed special restrictions on our hospital visitors. Please read these before coming to our hospitals to visit a relative or friend.
We also are providing tips to help you learn more about the flu, including how to avoid getting sick and take care of yourself and your family if the flu strikes.
