MONROE — As Monroe Clinic slowly begins to resume more normal operations, the safety of the patients, visitors and staff remains a top priority. For that reason, everyone that visits a Monroe Clinic facility will be required to wear a mask or a face covering beginning May 11.

Due to limited supplies, patients and visitors are encouraged to bring their own mask or face covering when coming to a Monroe Clinic facility. If they do not have access to a face covering, they will be offered a mask to use as supplies allow. All face coverings must cover both the mouth and nose. Examples include a homemade cloth mask, bandana or scarf.

All visitors must go through the health screening process before entry and follow all other policies and procedures within the facility. Monroe Clinic continues to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations.  

Anyone interested in donating cloth masks can contact Dawn Meier at MON-donations@ssmhealth.com.
