During the influenza season, we are restricting visitors to the Special Care Nursery, Labor & Delivery, and Mother/Baby units to protect the health and safety of our patients, families and staff.

• These units are restricted to two adult support persons. No other visitors will be allowed to enter these units.
   
• If you have fever, cough and/or sore throat, please do not enter these units.
   
• The visitation policy will vary depending on the severity of the flu season. For the latest policy updates, please click here or call (360) 738-6361.
   
• Both the season flu and H1N1 (swine) flu can cause medical complications in pregnant women, even those who are healthy.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Web site includes resources for pregnant women on preparing for the flu season and other information about both types of flu.  Pregnant women should get both vaccines as soon as possible, and are considered priority groups to receive the H1N1 vaccine.
   
• To access "Pregnant Women and Flu:  Five Things You Need to Know," go to http://www.flu.gov/individualfamily/parents/pregnant5tips.html.  This resource also includes a link to a flu shot locator, to find a location to get vaccinated in your community.
   
• For more on H1N1, including the signs of the disease and tips for pregnant women, go to http://www.flu.gov/pdfs/pregnantwomen.pdf.
