Our dedicated teams are facing a new normal, one that includes a different way to deliver health care. But one thing remains constant: Your health and safety are our top priority.

SEPARATING COVID-19 patients, as well as those caring for them, are safely isolated from the rest of the population. DISTANCING We're taking steps to ensure appropriate distance between you and other patients, visitors and staff. VIRTUAL VISITS For on-demand and routine medical care, we offer virtual visits – a reliable way to see your provider from the comfort of your own home. MASKING Our facilities have adopted policies that align with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. VISITORS We are limiting people coming into our facilities to those deemed essential. This helps maintain appropriate physical distancing and reduces spread of germs.
