HSHS St. Francis Hospital Postponing/Cancelling Non-Essential Events at the Hospital
March 15, 2020
Due to concerns about COVID-19, influenza and other illnesses, HSHS St. Francis Hospital has decided to postpone or cancel non-essential events/classes (except prenatal classes) at the hospital through the end of April. Events or meetings directly related to patient care will not be cancelled. All essential hospital functions will continue as usual.
This decision was made to best ensure the health and wellbeing of our colleagues, patients and visitors. Public health officials recommend using social distancing early to help slow the spread of disease. Social distancing refers to maintaining enough distance between yourself and another person to reduce the risk of breathing in droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
