An unwavering focus on safety for all
If anything, the COVID-19 pandemic has toughened our resolve to care for every patient with empathy, kindness, and a vigilance that’s only intensified.
We know you may have questions about receiving in-person care. That is why we are following safety guidelines from the CDC and state leaders, and are only resuming care in areas with a reduction in COVID-19 cases, and where we have enough supplies, capacity, and protective equipment to safely provide care.
We will screen everyone entering our care sites for symptoms of COVID-19, and require all patients to wear masks. Extra cleanings have been added between procedures. Visitor restrictions will remain in place, and most care sites will have designated areas for patients with COVID-19.
Resuming elective procedures
To prepare for the surge of COVID-19 cases, we temporarily paused many health care services and procedures. It was a difficult decision because these services are very important for our patients.
Now that we have data showing that the initial peak of the pandemic is behind us, we are safely resuming scheduled services and procedures.
For information about surgeries resuming at your local hospital, find one of our locations near you.
