The flu season is off to an early and strong start. Flu activity has been reported as widespread across 36 states, with 21 of those states―including Indiana―reporting a high number of flu cases. To protect patients and prevent further spreading, IU Health is limiting visitors to many of its healthcare facilities.

See the list below for IU Health hospitals that have implemented or will implement visitor restrictions. Other facilities may be added tothe list, so please check back for the most current information.

Temporary visitor restrictions mean:  

• Only essential adults (18 or older) will be allowed to visit patients.
• Visitors who have flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, chills or muscle aches, will not be allowed to visit patients.
• Patients with flu-like symptoms will be asked to wear a surgical or isolation mask.

IU Health recognizes the role that family plays in a patient’s recovery. Exceptions to the policy may be made under special circumstances.
