Licking Memorial Health Systems (LMHS) continues to promote the safety of our patients, employees and community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning Monday, April 27, LMHS is asking all visitors to wear a cloth face covering when visiting any of our healthcare facilities. Even those who feel well and are not exhibiting symptoms may be carrying the coronavirus. Covering the mouth and nose will help to prevent the spread of the virus. In addition to mask usage, LMHS encourages all visitors to maintain a safe social distance of six feet from others.
