Similar to all areas of the hospital, Mercy Health has enhanced cleaning processes per CDC guidelines, for both in-office visits and the new birth center.
Patients and visitors are screened when arriving for appointments and masks are required during visits. For everyone's safety, all staff, patients, and visitors are required to wear masks at all times in the facility.
OB patients are allowed to bring one support person to appointments, but GYN patients cannot bring visitors unless special assistance needed.
