As the situation regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve, so does our hospital’s response. In addition to measures we’ve taken including restricting visitors, closing common areas, and adhering diligently to and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, Canyon Vista Medical Center is taking more precautionary steps to help ensure the safety of our patients, employees and visitors.
Effective beginning at 9:00 am on Wednesday, March 18, we will be limiting entry points to our facility and screening everyone – employees, patients and the one well visitor over the age of 16– who enters the building. The following provides additional detail about both safety measures:
• Limited Entry Points: Until otherwise notified, everyone entering the facility should come through the Emergency Room Entrance. All other entry points will be closed until further notice.
• Screening Process: All patients, visitors and staff entering the facility will be screened with questions regarding respiratory symptoms and travel history, per CDC recommendations. Patients with symptoms will immediately be provided masks and managed per CDC guidelines. Based on the screening, visitors may also be asked to take their temperature, speak further with someone, or come back at a later date. Screening will occur upon every entry.
We know that these increased precautions may seem concerning. We do not want to cause alarm – but we do want to send a clear message to our community that we are prepared, responding appropriately and are committed to protecting the well-being of our patients, visitors, employees and community.
These increased safety measures do NOT mean that you cannot access the hospital or your providers. Please seek medical care as needed. And if you are concerned you may be experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, call your provider in advance of going to his or her office. Of course, if you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the emergency room.
Canyon Vista Medical Center values the trust our community places in us, and we appreciate your understanding as we shift our visitation policies during this time.
