We are continually monitoring & testing to see if our patients are developing symptoms of H1N1 flu.

Here's what you can do to help:

• Tell clinic staff if you have flu symptoms such as a high fever or cough.
• Use a tissue to cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, then discard the tissue in a waste basket.
• If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands.
• Wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer after coughing or sneezing.
• If you are coughing, you will be provided a mask to wear the whole time you are in the facility.

Treatment is recommended for:

1. Hospitalized patients with confirmed or possible H1N1 influenza.
2. Other severely ill patients at higher risk for influenza complications.
