As the media continues reporting on the health alert that has been issued about the H1N1 (swine) flu, we are continuing to monitor the situation and the latest updates closely to ensure the health and safety of the children in our care. At this time, we are continuing to restrict visitors and volunteer activities in our Continuing Care and Transitional Care Units to protect our medically fragile children. We are also asking all outpatient families and visitors to perform self-assessments and to return at another date if they are exhibiting symptoms of H1N1 virus. Please monitor this Web site for future updates.
