Effective November 10, 2009 at 7:00am until further notice… visitors under the age of 18 are prohibited in all in-patient areas of the hospital. In addition, the number of visitors is limited to only 2 per patient. Children are in the high risk group for influenza and we feel limiting contact in the hospital is in the best interest of patients, visitors and staff. Also, children may not be left unattended in or around hospital property. Every visitor entering or exiting a patient’s room must clean hands with soap and water or use an alcohol based sanitizer. The following groups are STRONGLY ADVISED NOT to visit the hospital.  Those who are now or have recently been illThose with chronic medical conditions and/or reduced immunity (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, neuromuscular disorders)Pregnant womenAnyone experiencing: fever, cough, cold, sneezing, runny nose, bronchitis, headaches, body aches, sore throat, and/or diarrhea.In addition, family and friends are asked to avoid visiting patients if they have been exposed to influenza-like illness in the past week.We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we hope you understand our desire to keep you and your loved ones safe. Thank you for your assistance. Tips on how you can avoid the flu: Cough and sneeze into your sleeveAvoid shaking hands or touching others who may be illIf you cough or sneeze into a tissue use it only once and throw it awayWash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol sanitizersStay home when you are sickAvoid close contact with people who are sickA lot has changed since Perry County Memorial Hospital was founded on the banks of the Ohio River nearly 60 years ago. Technology has changed. New "miracles" of modern medicine have been introduced. Healthcare itself has evolved from the days when an old country doctor arrived on the front porch with his black bag of cures and good judgment. Along the way, Perry County Memorial Hospital has managed to keep ahead of the curve. Only two parts of our history have remained fixed. First: We still overlook the Ohio River. Second: Our commitment to improving the quality of life for the residents of Perry County and the surrounding area. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
