We are in a restricted visiting period
Please let your patients know that our hospital is in a restricted visiting period due to the H1N1 (swine) flu.
- No visitors under the age of 18 will be allowed in the hospital at this time. This includes siblings.
- Only visitors on the "approved visitor" list may enter the hospital.
- Visitors who have a runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough or fever greater than 100 degrees should alert a Children's Hospital of Wisconsin-Fox Valley representative before entering.
What is restricted visiting?
At certain times, Children's Hospital-Fox Valley may need to restrict visitors who come to the hospital. We do this to provide a safe place for our patients to recover from illness or surgery.
Who can visit during restricted visiting?
Parents and primary custodial care providers of the patient may visit at any time.
Inpatient families will be asked to provide up to four or more people who are older than 18 years old who may visit their child. They can be relatives, such as grandparents, aunts or uncles. They also can be other visitors, such as clergy or teachers. This list cannot be changed during the child's hospital stay, and will be used until the child goes home from the hospital. Brothers and sisters under age 18 will not be able to visit.
If you refer patients to Children's Hospital-Fox Valley, please alert them to these visitor restrictions.
