Business was brisk from the time each opened, she said.

The gift shop is near the hospital entrance lobby and is stocked with a variety of items from flowers, teddy bears, snacks and drinks to seasonal gift items, noted manager Lynn Hurley. Gift shop hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The hospital’s flu restrictions will remain in place until further notice.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and developments on visitation in our community as well and change accordingly if needed,” Hirsch said.
