With a continued decrease in influenza through our community and a decrease in positive influenza admissions, Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center has lifted the restrictions prohibiting those under the age of 14 from visiting the hospital.  

The hospital will continue to discourage anyone who  is exhibiting signs of illness from visiting their loved ones so as to prevent any future spread of the flu.  

The hospital encourages everyone to cover their cough and wash their hands.
