Visitor Restrictions Lifted at HaysMed
Hays, Kansas (April 2, 2018) –Effective today visitor restrictions are no longer in effect at HaysMed. The hospital has been limiting visitors since February 7 for the protection of patients and staff. Flu and respiratory cases are on the decline and are now at a typical level for this time of year. As a result, the restrictions are no longer necessary,
“We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while these temporary restrictions were in place,” says Kim Koerner, Infection Prevention Officer/Associate Health Nurse. “While it was a sacrifice for both patients and hospital staff, we believe these efforts helped to reduce transmission of respiratory illnesses during a period of heightened flu activity.”
