Good Samaritan Implements Safety Measures During Vincennes and Knox County Boil Order

Vincennes Water Utilities and Knox County Water have issued a water boil order through Tuesday, April 21 for its customers, which includes Good Samaritan.

Our hospital remains open and fully operational, and we have implemented all recommended safety precautions to protect our patients, staff, and visitors. Measures include:

• Bottled and treated water is being used for all patient care needs
• Additional safety measures are in place across all departments

What this means for you:

• Please do not drink tap water unless it has been boiled (when boiling water, bring it to a full rolling boil for at least 1 minute, boil for 3 minutes, and then allow the water to cool before using)
• Use bottled or boiled water for drinking and brushing teeth
• Follow guidance from Vincennes Water Utilities, Knox County Water and local health officials

If you have an upcoming appointment or procedure, please come as scheduled unless you are contacted directly.
