Whether planning a hospital stay or visiting a loved one in our care, we look forward to providing you the best experience possible at Altru Health System. We strive to provide a warm, welcoming experience for every person who walks through our doors.
We know how vital it is for patients to have the support of friends and family while they are in the hospital. However, our top priority is keeping our patients, staff and community safe and healthy. While we are allowing visitors in some areas, we do still have some restrictions in place to ensure a healthy environment for patients and staff. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
