Protecting our home
We all know that COVID-19 will remain within our community for quite some time, but with social distancing and infection prevention measures, we can reduce the risk of spread. As you enter our hospital for care, things may look a little different, but everything we do is to care for our patients and community. Here’s what you can expect.
- Every employee in our hospital and clinics is masked for your protection.
- Every employee who enters our hospital and clinics receive a temperature check.
- We have active visitor restrictions in place for our hospital and clinics to limit the number of individuals in each facility.
- Masks are provided to patients upon arrival and must be worn throughout visit.
- All office furniture and medical equipment is thoroughly sanitized and cleaned before and after use.
- All waiting rooms are reorganized to encourage social distancing.
- Reduced wait times and spacing out of appointments for ER check in and clinic appointments
