Protecting the health and well-being of you and our employees is our top priority. We understand the concern caused by COVID-19, and we’re contributing in an all-out effort to reduce the spread of this infection. To ensure a safe environment, we have taken many precautions—including the following:

• Staff must take their temperature before work.
• Non-urgent treatment is temporarily postponed.
• Patients are screened by phone before arrival to assess their risk factors.
• Temperatures are taken of all visitors upon arrival.
• Surfaces are regularly disinfected.
• Accompanying family members are limited to no more than one per patient.
• The number of individuals in any given space is reduced to allow ample social distancing.
• Providers, staff, and patients wear masks as appropriate.

In times like this, it is normal to feel anxious. But we encourage you to follow the advice of healthcare experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). If you think you might have symptoms of COVID-19, or may have been exposed, this SELF TRIAGE TOOL developed by the University of Southern California’s Gehr Family Center for Health Systems Science and Innovation can help you determine what to do.

Wishing you continued health and safety!
