What to expect
It’s normal to feel apprehensive about entering a medical facility during these uncertain times, which can influence people to skip out on crucial routine treatments. We know it’s important to choose a facility where you feel safe and comfortable, and we’ve taken every step necessary to ensure your safety during your visit. Patients can opt for telehealth visits if they prefer to stay home. Those attending in-person appointments can expect the following:
Mask Policy Enforced
Visitors will be required to wear a surgical face mask upon entering the hospital. A mask will be provided in the event a visitor does not have one once they arrive.
Health Screenings Upon Entry
Visitors will undergo symptom and temperature screening upon entering the lobby of the hospital. Visitors shall be denied entry if they report significant COVID-19 exposure or symptoms during the prior 14 days, or have a temperature equal to/greater than 100.0 degrees Farhenheit.
Enhanced Cleaning Practices
Extra time and care is taken to clean each waiting room, exam room, and piece of equipment after each patient.
