Medical Center’s North Entrance on Turner McCall Boulevard and the parking

All visitors and patients will be screened before entering the hospital.
Only one visitor per patient will be permitted.
No visitors younger than 13 will be permitted.
Nursing staff and the attending physician will work with families who have special

basis.
The following locations will be impacted:
