Effective Date: December 14, 2009

Per the guidance of Colorado health officials and HealthONE infection control experts, effective Monday, Dec. 14, HealthONE hospitals, clinics and surgery centers lifted H1N1 visitor restrictions due to the decline in the spread of H1N1 in Colorado. As always, for everyone's safety, we request that if you plan to visit a patient or staff member at our facilities, please postpone your visit if you are any experiencing flu, cold or respiratory symptoms or have another illness that might affect our patients and staff. 

If you are a patient here for a medical appointment or are coming to the emergency department and are experiencing these symptoms, please wear a mask.  

Less than seven percent of HealthONE’s present emergency room visitors are patients with H1N1 or seasonal flu, compared to 25 percent or more during peak flu outbreak last month.   We will continue to monitor for any new outbreaks this respiratory season and may adjust our visitation policies again if needed.  

We at HealthONE are committed to ensuring the health and safety for our patients, visitors, staff and physicians and appreciate your patience and flexibility with these changes.   Updates will be posted on our website at: www.HealthONECares.com
