H1N1 - What the Public Should Know

Please Note:
Due to the start of the influenza season and the widespread transmission of novel H1N1 Influenza A virus (swine flu) in our community, CHOC is taking extra precautions to protect the health and safety of our patients. New visitor restrictions are currently in place that permit only parents/legal guardians to visit, while all other visitors will not be allowed until further notice.

We apologize for any inconveniences caused by these visitor restrictions, and truly appreciate your partnership in helping us to protect all of the children and families we serve on our campus. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
