COVID-19 and Related Information

Palos Hospital continues to monitor COVID-19 and its impact in the communities we serve. Palos Hospital will continue to receive, review and analyze developments and information updates, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) guidance for the COVID-19 viral illness. Concurrent with potential for community spread of COVID-19, Palos Hospital remains mindful of the current influenza seasonal outbreak, which has caused substantial morbidity in the country and often shares similar symptoms to the COVID-19 virus. Palos Hospital will continue to follow protocols as they may evolve for these viral infections.
