Hendrick Health has moved its COVID-19 Community Safety Dial to Level 1: Cautious. A recent increase in active cases in the community and an increase in current hospitalization rates have triggered the move. The change will not affect current visitation or masking policies in Hendrick facilities.

The COVID-19 Community Safety Dial serves as an indicator of the spread of COVID-19 in the area. The level is moved based on a combination of risk elements, including the CDC Transmission Level, current hospitalization rates, ICU admissions and the number of Hendrick employees in quarantine.

Hendrick continues to encourage individuals to keep themselves and others around them healthy by getting vaccinated, practicing good hand hygiene, staying home when ill and getting tested.
