Outpatient Centers and Physician Offices

To reduce the number of people in our office and waiting areas, our patients can remain in their vehicles and complete their normal check-in process using their cell phone. We are also taking these additional safety measures:

• Waiting rooms are arranged to allow for optimal social distancing
• All employees and patients must wear a mask
• Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout our facilities
• Cleaning frequency has been increased
• Separate facilities are designated for patients who are confirmed with or suspected of having COVID-19

Hospitals and Emergency Departments

Many safeguards are also being taken at the hospital to reduce exposure to the coronavirus:

• All staff are wearing masks
• Restricted visitation policies have significantly reduced the number of people in the hospital
• Patients suspected of having coronavirus are separated from other patients
• Normal procedures and workflows have been adapted to reduce the number of personnel or excessive passage through hospital areas with infected patients

Telehealth allows patients to receive our high-quality care from the safety and privacy of their home. To see if your needs can be met virtually, please call your physician’s office.
