Visitor Information:
Jan. 4, 2013 -- The influenza activity level in Michigan has been upgraded from "regional activity" to the highest level of "widespread activity." As a result, West Branch Regional Medical Center at this time is not allowing visitors under the age of 12 in patients rooms. Additionally, visitors with a fever or signs of influenza are being asked NOT to visit. WBRMC is committed to reducing the spread of influenza to its patients, visitors, employees and volunteers.
