Infection Prevention

What can you expect if you’re a patient or a visitor?

Patients of Mee Memorial Healthcare System can expect quality care in a safe environment.  Our system follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to provide you and your loved ones with high quality health care you can trust.

Mee consistently exceeds CDC expectations in regard to reportable infections- including Surgical Site Infections, infections due to invasive lines, and infections with antibiotic resistance.

Visitors can feel secure that our environment will be welcoming and safe when they visit.  Mee employs validated methods to ensure we provide a safe environment, even during periods of Flu or other infections in the community. Any person entering our buildings with respiratory symptoms is asked to wear a mask for the safety of others, and all persons are asked to make use of our widely-available hand sanitizer dispensers.  In certain special situations, visitors may be asked to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s) to protect themselves and others. In the event of these special situations, you will be alerted by staff or by signs displayed in English and Spanish.
