HSHS St. John’s Hospital Postponing/Cancelling Non-Essential Events at the Hospital
March 12, 2020
Due to concerns about COVID-19, influenza and other illnesses, HSHS St. John’s Hospital has decided to postpone or cancel non-essential events/classes (except prenatal classes) at the hospital through the end of April. This includes Mass celebrated in St. John’s Chapel. Mass will be broadcast to patient rooms only as the chapel is no longer open to the public.
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.
For a complete list, go to st-johns.org/cancellations.
At this time, St. John’s Hospital has not had any confirmed cases of COVID-19, but we are taking the necessary precautions based on recommendations by public health officials to prevent the spread of any contagious diseases.
The hospital is closely monitoring the situation locally. Patient, visitor and colleague safety remains our number one priority.
If residents are experiencing any symptoms that they suspect are related to COVID-19, they should call the local health department or primary care physician for advice on the next steps they should take.
