Measles is a highly contagious disease that can lead to serious complications, especially in infants and children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the best way to protect against measles is through vaccination. To learn more, visit https://www.cdc.gov/measles/vaccines/index.html. When coming to Regional West’s medical campus, we ask that you wear a mask if you have a fever and rash, red eyes, runny nose, or cough; have traveled to an area affected by measles; or have been in contact with someone known or suspected to have measles in the past 21 days. If you have symptoms or may have been exposed to measles, please notify employees at check-in or call the clinic or area you are visiting and wear a mask before entering. Regional West is prepared and ready to assist you in the Emergency Department 24 hours a day, seven days a week for your emergent healthcare needs. Any patient with a medical emergency may present directly to the Emergency Department without calling ahead. (fb)
