Safety first: For every patient, every visit.
Our staff are taking every precaution to perform hand hygiene often - before and after interactions, with each and every patient. 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.
Screening Visitors & Patients
Upon your arrival, a member of our team will be there checking temperatures, using no-contact infrared thermometers. This simple precaution, along with a few questions to answer, helps to screen for COVID-19 symptoms.
All patients having an invasive procedure are tested for COVID-19 prior to procedures.
Mandatory Masking
Everyone is required to wear a face mask, regardless of whether they have COVID-19 symptoms. Cloth masks are acceptable, but bandanas are not permitted to be used. We will provide masks if you do not have your own. Masks must be worn at all times by every staff member, every patient and every visitor.
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.
- Appointments are staggered to minimize patient traffic.
Urgent Care Curbside Check-in
Urgent Care patients can take advantage of curbside check-in. For safety and convenience, patients may remain in their cars and call:
- Middletown: 845-333-7575 and press ‘option #3'
- Monticello: 845-333-6500 and press ‘option #3'
The nurse will call you when an exam room becomes available and to let you know when it’s time to enter.
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.
