Please Wash Your Hands
Hand washing is the most important thing patients, visitors and staff can do to stop the spread of infection.
The purpose of infection control practices is to provide a safer environment for everyone. Therefore, visitors with symptoms of contagious diseases or infections – including colds and flu – should not visit patient areas.
