Witham Health Services Updates Visitor Guidelines And Offers In-Person Community Education Classes And Support Group Meetings.

“Things are moving in the right direction. We have a new sense of hope as the number of Covid positive patients in our hospital is near zero!” said Kelly Braverman, CEO/President of Witham Health Services. “Now is the perfect time to schedule any routine check-ups and screenings that you have delayed during the latest Covid spike. Your health and safety is our top priority. Please do not put off emergency or routine care – we are here to help keep you healthy. Witham Health Services will deliver the exceptional care you’ve come to expect.”

“We continue to follow CDC guidelines when it comes to masks. This means that Witham staff, patients, and visitors, must wear masks in each of our healthcare facilities. Witham is dedicated to keeping you and your family safe and with the standard precautions of wearing masks and social distancing, we are once again able to offer in-person community education classes and support group meetings. We have also updated our visitor guidelines to reflect the lower Covid positivity rate in Boone County.” said Braverman.

Braverman said “The past two years have taught us much – mostly resiliency, flexibility and how precious friends, family and colleagues truly are. We have come together as a community and as a healthcare facility; Witham’s amazing staff never wavered in delivering quality care to those we serve by putting patient’s health and safety first. I am confident we each want to get to a place when Covid concerns are no longer – thus, we continue to encourage you to get vaccinated/boostered and wash your hands often.”
