Visiting Information

In response to flu levels in our community, Hendricks Regional Health is temporarily changing our visitor policy effective Wednesday, January 7, 2026.

To protect our patients, staff, and visitors from unnecessary exposure to the highly contagious flu virus, we are not allowing visitors who are showing the following symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Sore Throat
  • Runny Nose
  • Nasal Congrestion

Patients coming to any Hendricks facility for care with flu-like symptoms will be asked to wear a mask, cover their cough, and perform hand hygiene.

We will keep these visitation changes in place for as long as necessary to address the widespread nature of these illnesses. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
