COVID-19 Update:
- We are now scheduling ALL Veterans through VeText.
- Inpatient visitors are allowed on the floor; visitation is still limited, and appointments must be coordinated with the units.
- Patient and visitor screening will occur in the Emergency Room from 8pm to 6am on weeknights and for all 48 hours during the weekend. The main entrance will continue to be closed during these hours and re-open at 6am on Monday mornings.
- Outpatient clinics should resume care and minimal target should be that 50% of patients are seen face to face. Space is being considered for waiting rooms and timing when scheduling. Patients must remain masked and 6 feet social distancing in waiting areas.
