SSM Health in Illinois is once again suspending visits throughout its care sites including Good Samaritan and St. Mary’s Hospitals due to an increase in the spread of COVID-19 throughout the community.

Beginning Monday, August 23rd, no visitors will be allowed except under certain circumstances, including end-of-life situations and when a visitor is essential for the patient’s emotional well-being and care.

Obstetrics patients will be allowed two visitors to offer support for the duration of their stay and patients in pediatric settings will be allowed one visitor.

These proactive steps are meant to ensure the continued safety of our patients, visitors, physicians, staff, and communities.

SSM Health appreciates the public’s cooperation during this time.
