Healthcare Information & Updates:
CentraCare along with many of our other long term care facilities have implemented restrictions regarding visitors. Please visit their FB pages, websites, or call as they are trying to protect our very vulnerable community members.
CentraCare: Effective immediately, we are no longer allowing visitors at CentraCare hospitals, long-term care facilities, senior housing, hospital outpatient departments, ambulatory surgery centers, and sites where individuals are housed in large numbers. After careful consideration, we made this difficult choice because our top priority must be the safety of our patients, staff and communities. Visitors impacted by this policy include patient family and friends, students, volunteers and non-essential contracted vendors. Exceptions will be made for patient/resident family members under special circumstances.
