There are high rates of flu and other respiratory viruses in our region. To help keep everyone safe, Penn Medicine suggests that all patients and visitors wear masks in our hospitals and practices. Patients with a cough, runny nose, or other respiratory symptoms will be asked to wear a mask during their visit, and visitors with symptoms will be asked not to visit.
Patients, visitors, and staff must continue to wear masks in areas where patients with weakened immune systems receive care. This includes:
Staff will also wear masks while directly caring for all patients.
Light The Night will be held on October 1 at Central Park. It's a fundraising campaign benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and its funding of research to find blood cancer cures. Coming together for a common goal, friends, family, and coworkers form fundraising walk teams and carry illuminated lanterns to light the night and bring hope through the darkness of cancer.
If you are worried about loved ones driving safely, our Clinical Driving Screening program can assess if they're safe drivers and help keep them on the road.
