Aurora Health Care to lift temporary NICU visitor restrictions

Given the ongoing decline in the number of positive flu cases this season, we’ve determined that on Wednesday, March 28, we’ll be lifting the temporary visitor restrictions that have been in place, and will be allowing visitors of all ages back into our neonatal intensive care units at Aurora Sinai Medical Center and Aurora West Allis Medical Center.

We sincerely appreciate everyone’s cooperation over the last two months, as the restrictions helped to reduce exposure to influenza and viral infections.

While the peak flu season is behind us, we continue to remind the public about the importance of hand washing in helping to prevent the spread of germs.
