Melham Medical Center is asking all community members for help. Our staff at Melham is dedicated to helping you when you are in need of medical care. The only way that we can do that is if we are healthy enough to do so. We are asking that you please stay home. With COVID-19 now confirmed in our county, we want to remind the community to stay home as much as possible and reduce outings for only essential needs. The virus can be spread without showing symptoms.
STAY HOME
- Stay home!
- Self-isolate within your home if you have any symptoms of respiratory illness or fever.
- Only have contact with those that you live with.
STAY HEALTHY

- Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer
- Do not touch your face

- Avoid the emergency room unless it is a medical emergency. Help keep those with critical needs from exposure.
- Clean and disinfect frequently:
- Door handles, light switches, desks, phones, tablets, toilets and sinks.
- Wash drinking glasses after each use.
- Feed those who are ill in a separate area.
- Wash hands immediately after throwing trash away.
