Brookwood Medical Center has been closely monitoring the H1N1 (swine) flu situation in the United States. We take the health and safety of our community, patients and employees very seriously. As with any infectious illness, we have stringent processes in place to manage and contain the situation. We ask that if you are ill, that you do not visit patients. School age children or any child under age 12 should also not visit hospitalized patients. We thank you for helping us maintain the safety of those in our care.
