CentraCare Health – Melrose has secured the recommended equipment and demonstrated commitment to the CALS principles.
Patient & Visitor Information
Visiting hours in the hospital are flexible based on the patient’s wishes. Visitors may be limited by nursing staff or physicians depending upon each patient’s condition and situation. Parents of pediatric patients are welcome to stay with their child. To protect the health of all patients, people with colds or infections are asked not to visit in the hospital or long-term care center.
