An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test performed when a woman is 12 weeks pregnant. A doctor places a needle into the placenta and removes a small amount, which is then examined for birth defects and genetic abnormalities in the fetus, and can also determine the baby's gender.
