Pella Regional Health Center revises masking guidelines

In response to the CDC revised recommendations issued Sept. 23, Pella Regional Health Center has removed the mask requirement for patients, visitors, staff and volunteers, regardless of vaccination status.

Out of respect for our patients and staff, masks are strongly encouraged if you have symptoms of an infectious disease such as cough, fever, sore throat, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell.

Pella Regional Health Center remains committed to providing a family-centered care environment and we continue to follow strict cleaning protocols. PRHC also offers hand sanitizer and mask stations throughout the facility for patient, visitor, and staff use. They continue to monitor COVID-19 community spread as defined by CDC and in the event community transmission levels are high, they may need to reinstate masking requirements. Should the guidance change, PRHC will revise the restrictions accordingly.
