MILWAUKEE- Children under the age of twelve will, for a time, no longer be able to visit the birthing center at Froedert Hospital.
Froedert issuing the temporary ban today (Wednesday) as communities around south-east Wisconsin grapple with a severe, and sometimes deadly flu season.
The temporary ban applies to Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee, Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital and Froedtert West Bend Hospital. The restriction will remain in place until further notice.
Last week Children’s Wisconsin instituted a similar ban on young visitors.
