Howard Memorial Hospital will be further locked down in order to protect you, your family and our staff. Effective immediately, you will be required to enter through the Emergency Room entrance. A screening station is set-up outside the ER and after triage/screening, you will be directed by the nurse where to enter. We realize this may be a little inconvenient; however, it is for everyone's protection. Always remember to cover your cough, sneeze, wash hands frequently and practice social distancing. Don't go out in public unless it is absolutely necessary.
