There are high rates of flu and other respiratory viruses in our region. To help keep everyone safe, Penn Medicine suggests that all patients and visitors wear masks in our hospitals and practices. Patients with a cough, runny nose, or other respiratory symptoms will be asked to wear a mask during their visit, and visitors with symptoms will be asked not to visit.
Patients, visitors, and staff must continue to wear masks in areas where patients with weakened immune systems receive care. This includes:
Staff will also wear masks while directly caring for all patients.
During April, we celebrate Donate Life Month to raise awareness about donation and to honor those who have saved lives lives through the gift of donation. Registering as an organ, eye, and tissue donor is an easy way to make your wishes known.
