Walker Center for Cancer Care Temporarily Returns to Masks-Required

Published on: November 8, 2023

As announced on October 25, 2023, most Samaritan locations are using an outbreak approach to mandatory facemask use. Visitors, patients, and employees may be asked to mask in various locations if there is an outbreak in that specific location.

At this time, as of November 6, 2023, Walker Center for Cancer Care is experiencing an ongoing transmission and are under temporary masks-required conditions. Samaritan will announce when this is lifted and the center returns to masks-optional.

Visitors and patients will be notified upon entry if the location they are visiting is masked for the day.

Samaritan’s long term care facilities and emergency department remain masks-required due to the heightened risk of exposure.

Any further updates to this change will be added to samaritanhealth.com/news.
