COVID-19

You won’t be near anyone with COVID-19.
The fear of contracting COVID-19 shouldn’t cross your mind when you need emergency care. That’s why we’ve created safe zones in our ER - keeping you separate from anyone we’re treating for COVID-19.

We’re suiting up and scrubbing down even more.
We’ve upped our cleaning and disinfecting protocols - especially for high-touch areas. We also make sure we’re adequately stocked with masks, shields, gloves and towns to help keep you and our staff healthy.

Checking, then double-checking.
For an added layer of protection, we have hospital personnel screening patients for COVID-10 exposure and symptoms before they enter our facility.

Your health and safety are our top priority

Good Samaritan Medical Center is taking additional, necessary preparations to ensure patients can receive compassionate care in a safe, carefully managed environment – with confidence and without fear.

Our Safe and Ready program consists of a rigorous five-point standard ensuring patient safety, confidence and convenience:

1. Expanded hours will allow previously cancelled procedures to be scheduled as quickly as possible.
2. Any COVID-19 related care takes place in designated areas away from other patients and their families.
3. The Emergency Department has mechanisms in place to separate COVID from NON-COVID patients and continues to be a safe place to treat all emergency patients.
4. Rigorous cleaning procedures continue to be a top priority.
5. A strictly controlled visitor and mask policy is required for patient safety.

You can rest assured that we have made the necessary preparations to care for you in a safe, controlled and professional way.

We’re here, and we’re ready to provide the care you need.
