Elk Regional Requests No Visitors as Patients Move to New Generations Unit

On Wednesday, Feb. 6, Elk Regional Health Center’s clinical care team will be relocating all of the patients on the Health Center’s Generations Unit to the newly constructed unit.

During the transition, which will take place on Wednesday morning and afternoon, Health Center officials have asked that family members and friends refrain from visiting Generations Unit patients in order to ensure a smooth transition to the new unit.

Visitors will be welcomed to the new unit beginning Thursday morning, Feb. 7. Questions about a patient’s new room number can be answered by Health Center personnel at the Registration desk or by nursing staff on the new unit.

To access the new Generations Unit on Thursday morning, Feb. 7, visitors should come in the main entrance, turn left past Registration, follow the hallway to the end and take the elevator to the second floor. 

For more information about the transition, please call the Health Center’s Public Relations Department at (814) 788-8532 or (814) 788-8832.
