Congrats to pharmacy tech Sean Hosler, our February Colleague of the Month. His team-first approach has made a significant impact on patients and colleagues alike. "Every so often, an employee joins a department who not only brings a strong track record of hard work and reliability, but also elevates everyone around them,” his nominator wrote. http://mh.social/y5UU50YspFM

Effective March 11, temporary visitor restrictions are lifted at all Memorial Health hospital locations. These restrictions are no longer necessary because respiratory illness activity has been low statewide for several weeks, according to data from the Illinois Department of Public Health. We have also seen a significant drop in hospitalization due to respiratory illness.

With the lifting of these restrictions, the following changes go into effect:
- More than two visitors are now permitted in patient rooms.
- Visitors younger than 18 are now permitted in patient rooms when appropriate.

Today, we joined area healthcare partners in Decatur for a meaningful conversation about how we can work together to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our community. This is just the beginning. We're energized by the shared commitment in that room and excited for what we'll accomplish together.

Improving healthcare in our community takes more than one organization. It takes collaboration.

Today, healthcare leaders from across the Decatur area came together to begin an important conversation about improving health and access to care in our region. By working together, sharing perspectives and learning from one another, we can better understand the challenges patients and families face.

This ongoing collaboration is an important step toward strengthening healthcare and creating better pathways to care for our community.

Thanks to NowDecatur.com for these great photos from our recent Open House, which highlighted the hospital’s partnership with Memorial Specialty Care Cardiology. The tour through our updated cardiac catheterization lab featured hands-on demonstrations of the latest technology used to diagnose & treat heart conditions. Just another example of our commitment to providing the best care close to home for area residents.
