Screening everyone who enters our facilities

• We are screening all patients, staff, and visitors before they enter our facilities for symptoms, including temperature checks and providing masks.

Testing surgery patients as part of pre-op

• To protect everyone in our community, all surgery patients are presumed positive until tested negative.

• We are adding COVID-19 testing to our pre-operative procedures to ensure the safety of everyone.

Keeping Patients Safe

• We are making accommodations throughout our clinics for those who are at higher risk, have had COVID-19 exposure, who are sick.

• Please follow the instructions from your clinic on how best to proceed.

Maintaining social distancing practices

• We have rearranged our waiting rooms to maximize social distancing abilities.

• Our appointments are staggered to reduce the number of people in waiting rooms.

• Some locations offer in-vehicle waiting. Please ask when scheduling your appointment.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• MSU Health Care staff and supporters are wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when providing care for our community.

• In addition to our staff and supporters wearing PPE we also will be providing masks to anyone who is eligible to enter the facility and does not have one.

Additional Cleaning

• MSU Health Care regularly monitors and cleans all high touch areas per CDC Guidelines.

• The safety of our patients and qualified visitors are in mind when we take the extra time to clean, sanitize, and ready the facility for the next appointment.

Visitor Restrictions

•  One family member per adult patient and two family members per pediatric and maternity patients.

Telemedicine – Virtual Visits

• Telehealth is offered by MSU Health Care.

• We encourage all non-essential visits be scheduled this way until the stay at home order is lifted.

• If you think you require an in-person visit, then it is recommended you call your respective clinic.
