St. Mary's Regional Medical Center is fully prepared to address any potential outbreak of North American Influenza (aka H1N1 flu) in our community. We have the appropriate medications, isolation rooms and medical personnel to care for and treat any patients who may be infected. Key personnel from the hospital are involved in daily briefings with state and local health officials to keep abreast of new information and instructions and we are increasing our surveillance for patients who present with symptoms consistent with H1N1 flu.
The Centers for Disease Control has advised that any individuals who feel they may have symptoms consistent with H1N1 flu should contact their primary care physician who can administer the appropriate test which will determine if the individual is infected with H1N1 flu. You may also come to our Emergency Department. St. Mary's Regional Medical Center has set up special areas for handling and testing any potential patients with H1N1 flu symptoms.
