Due to Governor J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health having announced Regions 5 (which includes Wayne and Edwards counties), 7, and 8 being held at Tier 2 mitigations Fairfield Memorial Hospital will be cancelling all support groups for the time being. This includes the Multiple Sclerosis Support Group, Cancer Support Group, Better Breathers Club, Diabetes Support Group, Coffee Club, and the Dementia Caregivers Support Group.
“The safety of our staff and patients is our sole responsibility and we want to ensure and implement all safety protocols when dealing with COVID-19. We hope to offer our support groups in the near future but until the numbers and the Tier 2 is changed we have to cancel all support groups for the time being. We hope and pray for the safety of our community during these difficult times.” stated FMH CEO Katherine Bunting-Williams.
