Facility Screening

All staff, visitors, or patients entering the facility will be screened including a temperature check.  Those with a temperature at or above 100.0 will not be permitted to enter at this time.

We continue to conduct a short screening for patients and those visitors who meet our visitor exception criteria.  This screening is based on CDC guidelines for identifying respiratory illnesses including coronavirus (COVID-19).:
