Preparing for a procedure during covid-19

We support all of our facilities in social distancing practices such as minimizing time in waiting areas, spacing chairs at least 6 feet apart, and maintaining low patient volumes.

Universal masking is in place at all facilities. All patients and staff entering any patient care facility will be required to wear a mask.

Elective cases are tested for Covid-19 72 hours prior to surgery. In addition, changes have been implemented regarding the registration and check-in processes at all facilities. Your facility will have more information.

Staff are routinely screened for symptoms and any symptomatic staff are tested and quarantined. Staff may return to work 72 hours after symptoms have resolved and following two consecutive negative Covid-19 tests.

We follow established guidelines from our infectious disease specialists in conjunction with government recommendations for thorough cleaning and disinfection prior to using spaces or facilities.

Patients are limited to one companion per procedure at most facilities. All visitors will be screened for symptoms and will need to wear a mask during their time in the facility.
