Help protect hospitalized Veterans this flu season
Veteran Health Indiana is asking for support from visitors during flu season to help protect hospitalized Veterans.
Anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, sore throat or runny nose, is asked to not come to Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center to visit Veteran patients. Veterans who are experiencing these symptoms and need to visit the medical center or any one of Veteran Health Indiana’s 13 outpatient clinics, are asked to don a mask before entering. Masks are available at facility entrances.
At Roudebush VAMC masks are also available at the concierge desk in the atrium.
Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center, a Level 1A, tertiary care facility, is the Veteran Health Indiana (VHI) flagship providing comprehensive health care to more than 63,000 Veterans in Indianapolis and at outpatient clinics in Bloomington, Brownsburg, Martinsville, Terre Haute, Columbus, Lafayette, and Shelbyville. VHI also includes a 50-bed homeless domiciliary and the nation’s only Veteran centric YMCA wellness center.
