Adults will be able to get their immunization without leaving their car at this year's FHN Flu Shot Clinics. Due to precautions helping to stop the spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, only drive-through flu shot clinics will be offered this year.
The Stephenson County Health Department, Stephenson County Emergency Management Agency, Illinois Department of Public Health, and Highland Community College will offer free community COVID-19 testing Sept. 21 – 23 at HCC in Freeport.
Previously relocated to FHN's Freeport Family Healthcare Centers during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Outpatient Lab services will again be available at FHN Memorial Hospital beginning Monday, July 6.
As we've all seen even more clearly recently, your health is so important - so don't put off visiting your FHN provider or scheduling appointments! Our offices and hospital are open, and we're as ready as ever to care for you and your family.
Visitor restrictions have changed as we are allowing limited visitors to accompany patients at FHN Memorial Hospital and office practices.
If you wish to help financially, you can donate to FHN's COVID-19 Response Fund. Your donations will be directed toward our highest priority needs during this challenging time. Together, we are stronger when we each do our part!
FHN and the Northern Illinois Food Pantry are helping get a healthy “dose” of good food to those who need it. This free program will distribute healthy produce, milk, eggs, and frozen and canned meats to qualified participants on a regular basis.
In accordance with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) guidelines, FHN is postponing or cancelling all larger nonessential events until further notice.
