Salem Health Hospitals & Clinics has announced visitor restrictions at Salem Hospital and West Valley Hospital in Dallas. These visitor restrictions are meant to help keep the community safe as flu cases continue to rise.
“The health and safety of our community is our top priority,” said Julie Koch, Salem Health infection prevention manager. “The flu and other related respiratory illnesses spread quickly, and can be deadly, especially to our vulnerable patients.”
Salem Health asks hospital visitors to follow these guidelines to help protect patients, employees, and the community:
Salem Health provides tissues, masks, and hand hygiene supplies (like alcohol-based hand
foam) at respiratory stations across its locations for visitor safety. Salem Health thanks the community for spreading the word about these restrictions and following them when visiting its hospitals.
