We SCREEN to protect you, your families and our staff:
- We screen all employees daily—anyone with symptoms of possible Covid-19 infection is not allowed to come to work until they are cleared of any risk to staff or patients
- On arrival, we screen all patients and visitors for symptoms of possible COVID-19 infection
- Outpatients are screened prior to arrival in most cases, and if symptomatic, are cared for via virtual visits
- We limit visitors coming into the health center, and screen visitors for symptoms of possible COVID-19 infection. We ask visitors with symptoms to defer their visits
We CLEAN our hands and spaces, and make it easy for you to do the same:
- We have established cleaning protocols throughout the health center
- We have added hand sanitizer stations so patients, visitors and staff can clean their hands easily and frequently; and provided visual reminders to practice hand hygiene
We PROTECT everyone in our environment:
- We require all people —employees, patients and visitors—to wear a new facility-issued surgical mask in patient care areas
- We have rearranged spaces to accommodate physical distancing by removing chairs from waiting rooms and, in some areas, installing plexiglass barriers
Additional safety measures that we have implemented include:
- Developing and implementing infection control policies to care for patients with suspected and confirmed COVID-19
- Allowing some employees to work remotely if possible
