Flu Update

UPDATED 9:45 A.M. ON JANUARY 21. The number of new flu cases is remaining consistent. By the end of the month, our Infection Control team will revisit the visitation restrictions that are currently in place at both Elk Regional Health Center and Pinecrest Manor.

We've listed the current restrictions below. Thank you to everyone for respecting our visitation restrictions and helping us keep our patients and residents safe!

Current Visitation Restrictions:
  • Only immediate adult family members may visit patients at the Health Center or residents at Pinecrest Manor. No children under the age of 18 will be permitted to visit.
  • Visitation to the Health Center's Maternity Unit is restricted to parents and grandparents ONLY. This means that no other family members, including children, regardless of their relationship to the patient, may visit.

These restrictions are in place until further notice. If you have any questions, please call the Public Relations Department at (814) 788-8532 or (814) 788-8832.
