Safety first: For every patient, every visit.

When taking care of you and your loved ones during your visit, our staff is wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as masks, shields, scrubs, and gloves. Masks are worn properly and for the entirety of our shifts.
Cleaning & Disinfecting Our Facilities
Aggressive cleaning and disinfecting processes have been implemented throughout the buildings. We’re constantly cleaning and disinfecting our buildings including using specialized ultraviolet lights to further sanitize patient rooms.
Social Distancing During Your Visit
Patients are appropriately distanced during the time they spend with us to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- Signs in place on waiting room chairs to encourage physical social distancing.
- Social distancing signs help direct safe patient flow in our buildings.
- Plastic shielding installed in key areas to further enhance infection control.

Offering Telehealth Appointments
Health is more important now than it ever was, and there are now more options to see your doctors than ever before — video, phone and in person. Giving patients the choice gives them a sense of control and the comfort they need to return.
