Health Advisory

The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) recently issued a Health Advisory strongly recommending masking in all healthcare and residential facilities, reporting substantial increases in patients with respiratory illnesses including COVID-19, flu, and RSV.


Additionally, NYSDOH data reflects high community levels of COVID-19 for Orange and Sullivan counties.

We strongly encourage using these masks to protect yourself and your loved ones during your visit.


Please note: Inpatients with isolation precautions require visitors to wear more extensive personal protective equipment. Our nursing staff will assist you if this is a requirement for the patient you will be visiting).


Thank you for choosing to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses in our community!
