This is an extraordinary time and the community\u2019s understanding and compliance is appreciated. <\/p>\n<p>The updated visitor restrictions can be viewed at each system\u2019s website, listed below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visitor Restrictions for Parkview Health<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/parkview.com\/visitorupdates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parkview.com\/visitorupdates<\/a> (details for each facility under Facility and Service Updates)<\/p>\n<p>Visitor Restrictions for Lutheran Health Network<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/lutheranhealth.net\/visitor-restrictions<\/p>\n<p>Both systems stress the importance for the community to continue practicing the guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including wearing a mask, social distancing, thorough and frequent hand washing, disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces, and staying home when symptomatic, except when in need of medical care, including testing.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, both Parkview and Lutheran encourage everyone to get an influenza vaccine, not only to reduce your family\u2019s risk from the flu, but also to help conserve healthcare resources. Everyone 6 months or older is encouraged to get a flu shot to help keep our community safe from another respiratory illness during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/parkview\/aerialviewcore36in.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Aerial View rendering of the Parkview Regional Medical Center, under construction.
