Inpatient Care: We currently have 15 patients on our Med Surg floor. Two of our patients are Covid+ (both of which are vaccinated).  Our overall percentage of hospitalized COVID patients who are unvaccinated continues to trend around 85%.

Testing:  The percent of patients testing positive for COVID-19 declined significantly again, with 10.7% of patients (13 in total) testing positive. (See chart for testing details). Those who need to be tested for Covid-19 should contact their primary care provider or schedule an appointment at a local testing site through coronavirus.in.gov. If you have mild symptoms or had a known exposure to someone with COVID-19, self-testing at home with an over-the-counter test is also a good option for fast results.

Vaccination:  Vaccine appointments for everyone ages 5 and older can be scheduled Monday - Friday at the MMH Occupational Health and Wellness Center in Batesville at 812.932.5105.  Vaccine appointments can also be made Monday – Friday at the Margaret Mary Health Center in Brookville at 765.647.5126.
