Officials with Community Medical Center Women's Services in Missoula have eased some visitation restrictions that have been in place for the past several months.
The Labor and Delivery visitor restriction policy which was implemented in October due to the H1N1 virus has been rescinded, however hospital officials ask that only healthy adults and siblings visit mothers and new babies at CMC.
Meanwhile, due to the high risk population of patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the visitation restriction will remain in place for the time being.

With the H1N1 scare this year and all the vaccine hoopla I went a bit germaphobe and googled how to teach kids about germs at the start of the school year. Found a new program called Germ Smarts for kids and got it for home and for our child?s preschool. It was a bit pricey but has probably saved us hundreds as the kids have not been bringing home every germ on the planet from preschool and we are no longer playing the ?pass the germ? game around the house! Simple program but huge difference in staying healthy for everyone.
