Temporary Visitation Restrictions

Effective January 6

Due to increased prevalence of RSV and flu in our community, we have implemented temporary visitation restrictions in our hospitals.

No visitors under the age of 12 are allowed in patient care areas.
Please do not visit patients if you are experiencing fever, vomiting, diarrhea or cold or flu-like symptoms.

Thank you for helping to promote health and healing for patients in our hospitals.

WakeMed Children’s Hospital is proud to be the only pediatric inpatient care provider in Wake County, caring for thousands of babies and children each year and always providing the highest level of care and caring to our youngest patients.
