RMC Announces Pediatric Visitor Restrictions Amid Rising Local Illness
December 26, 2025 in News, Regional Medical Center
Regional Medical Center (RMC) is placing a temporary pediatric visitor restriction in place amid rising respiratory local illness and hospitalizations. Effective December 26, 2025 children under the age of 14 will not be allowed to visit patients in the hospital.
The only exception is in the OB Department. Immediate siblings will be allowed to visit their new sibling as long as they are feeling well. It is very important that these siblings are not experiencing any respiratory symptoms. Any ill siblings should not come to the OB Department.
To further ensure the safety of patients, staff and the community, RMC also strongly encourages all visitors and guests to wear a mask while inside their facilities.
By restricting visitors and encouraging masking, the goal is to prevent unnecessary illness from being brought into the hospital. As always, our top priority is creating a safe environment from healing. As the respiratory season continues, it’s important to remember the 3 C’s. You can help reduce the spread of illness by Cleaning your hands often, Covering your coughs and Containing germs by staying home when you are sick.
RMC will continue to monitor local health data and will provide updates when these temporary restrictions are lifted. To see all visitor guidelines, please visit regmedctr.org/visit.
