Effective March 20, to protect patients, healthcare workers and the public from COVID-19, Goshen Hospital is prohibiting visitors.

Effective immediately, Goshen Health is postponing elective and non-urgent surgeries upon recommendations from the Governor, multiple medical societies as well as our own provider groups. This decision was made with an abundance of caution in order to best protect our patients and Colleagues, to conserve our equipment and supplies and to safeguard our bed capacity for the emerging health needs of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Goshen Health will honor nearly 200 certified nurses on Certified Nurses Day, held annually on March 19. The national day of recognition celebrates nurses who have achieved national board certification in specialized areas of healthcare.

 

Goshen Hospital is taking the precautionary measure of limiting patient visitors at the hospital to protect patients, families and Colleagues from unnecessary exposure to illness. This temporary policy goes into effect on March 7, 2020.

 

As health systems across the country are preparing for potential cases of coronavirus (COVID-19), it is important to understand the guidelines. Goshen Health is positioned to provide exceptional care for all patients and will do so following Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) guidelines.
