Like all other hospitals, we are paying close attention to the increasing number of cases of H1N1 Influenza. The hospital continues to ensure all steps are being taken to protect the health and safety of our staff, physicians, volunteers, patients and their families and visitors.
Due to low patient volumes, the STEGH Flu Assessment Clinic will be closed beginning Saturday, November 14, 2009, until further notice. The operation of the clinic will assessed on an on-going basis.
