To safeguard patients, visitors experiencing flu-like symptoms—including fever, cough, headache, muscle or joint pain, sore throat, or runny nose—are asked to refrain from visiting the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center.
Veterans experiencing flu-like symptoms who need to visit the medical center or any of Veteran Health Indiana’s 13 outpatient clinics are asked to wear a mask before entering the facilities. Masks are available at all facility entrances and at the concierge desk in the atrium of Roudebush VA Medical Center.
