Pause on surgeries and in-person group classes

Witham Health Services Press Release


(Lebanon, Ind., January 7, 2022)


Witham Health Services puts a pause on elective surgeries and all in-person group classes

With your health and safety in mind, Witham has made the difficult decision to immediately pause all elective surgery. Only urgent and emergent procedures will continue. In an effort to prevent unnecessary exposures we have restricted visiting hours, vendor visits and other in-person activities including all support group and community education classes, Tai Chi, Pedaling for Parkinson’s, & FightSmart classes. These will all be on hold until further notice. If you have questions about a support group or education class please call 485-8120. For questions about wellness classes please call 485-8126. We will be re-evaluating each week and we’ll re-gather as soon as it is safe to do so. Our community's COVID burden is quickly stretching our hospital resources to new levels. Daily we are seeing more ventilated patients, more COVID positive admissions, and more hospital staff absences. Please help us by getting vaccinated.
