A Few Seasonal Updates

At Hillsboro Health we work hard to provide a safe atmosphere for both our patients and our staff.  With the rising levels of respiratory illness on a county and state level, Hillsboro Health will be implementing a few initial precautions to help ensure the health and safety of our patients and our team. 

The following precautions have been implemented effective December 31, 2025:

  • Visitors will be limited to two individuals at a time and to those who are 18 years of age and older. (This excludes special circumstances, such as end of life, trauma situations, etc.)
  • Upon entry to the facility, visitors will be screened for respiratory symptoms. Those with symptoms will be encouraged to delay visitation until they are symptom free or asked to wear a mask while in the facility.
  • Our staff will utilize personal protective equipment, especially masks, when providing care to all patients who present with respiratory symptoms.

Hillsboro Health's Director of Regulatory Compliance & Patient Safety will continue to closely monitor respiratory testing data for the State of Illinois and our service area. These precautions will be modified accordingly.

Hillsboro Health would like to thank our patients and our team members for their understanding and cooperation as we continue to provide a healthy atmosphere to all.
